But Vanguard gathered that the Speaker who had on Friday told Journalists in Abuja that he had accepted the challenge but would continue to consult on the matter recapitulated Monday night.

It was also gathered that all was now set for the Speaker to launch an all-out campaign for the governorship contest of his home state, Sokoto.
