In a statement by his special assistant on public communications and new media, Mr Lere Olayinka, the governor said, “I’m going straight to that Villa. I’m the next president.

“I have a penchant for taking powers; that one in President Muhammadu Buhari’s hand, I will take it.”

The letter read; “It is with a deep sense of responsibility that I write to inform you of my intention to seek the ticket/mandate of our party to contest the 2019 presidential election.

“Considering your support and commitment towards our great party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), it becomes imperative to keep you informed and seek your support.

“This ambition, however, is without prejudice to our party’s position but in the overall interest of the party and our country.

“I urge that all hands should be on deck to ensure victory at the 2019 presidential election.

“Accept the assurances of my highest regards as a determined presidential hopeful.”
