The Presidential candidate for the People’s Democratic Party, Abubakar Atiku has picked former governor of Anambra State, Dr Peter Obi as his running mate. This puts to an end speculations among Nigerians regarding who will fill this position.
Peter Obi emerged the preferred candidate after extensive consultations between the party and the candidate. He has also been in the news a lot as many supporters of Atiku have been nominating him alongside Akinwunmi Adesina and Okonjo Iweala.
Of this three, Peter Obi has governance experience and is also a card carrying member of the PDP. His selection appears to be a master stroke that will bring the votes of the South East behind Atiku.
