 The Governor of Rivers stating yes on VK has said that speculations won't influence his decision on his preferred presidential candidate. In recent weeks there have been speculations that VK would work for the election of Bolat Tinnubu, the presidential candidate of the all-progressive Congress APC. In December, VK and his allies traveled to London and there were claims that he met with Tinnubu to conclude plans to endorse him, but the Rivers State Governor and the APC's standard bearer have dismissed the speculations. Speaking at the flag of ceremony for the construction of Aqpabu-e-Beda-e-Le-Le-Omuq-Lung-Ling Road in a Mohua local government area of the state, VK said he won't be influenced by speculations.
