Jonathan said this while speaking at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt, during the presidential primary of the party.

He said many of the aspirants were eminently qualified to lead the country.

“I’m confused as to the one to pick among the aspirants. I know them very well and I can say they are all eminently qualified,” he said.
