Ministers who may quit Jonathan’s cabinet in October to join the governorship race include Senator Bala Muhammed (Federal Capital Territory), Mr Labaran Maku (Information), Chief Emeka Wogu (Labour), Mr Nyesom Wike (State, Education), Dr Samuel Ortom (State, Trade, Industry and Investment) and Senator Musiliu Obanikoro (State, Defence).
Mohammed from Bauchi, Maku from Nasarawa and Wike from Rivers are the most obvious governorship aspirants among serving ministers.
