The group in a press conference yesterday said by settling for the former Cross River state governor, the party was going against it’s earlier position that the office of the President be zoned to the North.

It therefore called for the declaration of Professor Jerry Gana, who came second on the log behind Mr. Duke, as the validly elected candidate of the party for the 2019 elections.
