Considered as the first batch, the list contained 28 nominees. The list included former Governor of Rivers State Nyesom Wike, ex-Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi and presidential spokesman Dele Alake.

The States that were not represented in the first batch were Adamawa, Bayelsa, Gombe, Kano, Kebbi and Kogi.
The unrepresented States include Lagos, Nasarawa, Osun, Yobe and Zamfara.
