Ideal Olive gathered at
punchng.com of October 13 2018 that a former Governor of Anambra State, Mr.
Peter Obi was chosen as the running mate to Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples
Democratic Party presidential candidate for the 2019 election, on Friday in
Abuja.
The choice of Peter came after
due considerations and series of consultations by stakeholders in the party and
outside it. PDP had earlier considered five persons before Peter Obi was said
to have been finally picked. Visit http://idealolive.blogspot.com/2018/10/atiku-woes-ekweremadu-soludo-adesina.html
for the five persons on Atiku’s consideration list.
According to punch.ng, investigation
by one of their correspondents showed that Atiku and the leadership of the
party discussed the issue at a closed-door meeting with former President
Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Thursday.
Peter Obi’s nomination has been
confirmed by a statement issued by the Director-General of the Atiku
Presidential Campaign Organization, Chief Gbenga Daniel, in Abuja on Friday
night.
Here is a part of that
statement: “The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku
Abubakar, has chosen a former Chairman of Fidelity Bank PLC and former Governor
of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, as his running mate for the 2019 presidential
election.
Apart from his vast knowledge
of global and local economics, as well as being a financial expert, the choice
of Peter Obi was largely influenced by his youthfulness.
It is hoped that with Peter Obi
as a running mate to Atiku, PDP stands a better chance of winning the
presidential elections if it turns out to be free and fair.
