It was gathered that Tonye Cole was adopted following a meeting with other aspirants on Friday night.
One of the aspirants, Prince Tonye Princewill confirmed the development in a statement yesterday.
He revealed that the decision was reached by other aspirants, and has nothing to do with the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
