    Adesina said, “In a previous interview when the president was asked whether he had a favorite candidate, he answered yes; but he will not mention him because mischief may happen to that person.

    “That shows you that the president himself is interested in the process and he has a preferred candidate; but whether he will impose his candidate is what you can no determine at the moment.

    However, Adesina said that going by the president’s recent directive that political appointees should resign before May 16, the president may decide to fill certain position if some ministers resign.
