He singled out the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba for braving the odds to quit to avoid conflict of interest.

But other Ministers seeking to be Governors, Senators and House of Representatives members were busy trying to seek clarifications if they were affected.

The President gave the quit notice at the tail end of the Federal Executive Council.

President said he had received the resignation of Nwajiuba seeking to be President.

He said: "I expect other members of this council seeking to be President to resign with immediate effect."

"We are expecting more clarifications soon."
