Atiku set to announce Peter Obi as running mate

Barring any unexpected last minute change of plans, former Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State will be announced as running mate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

The duo met for a closed-door meeting at Atiku’s Abuja residence in Asokoro at 3:00 pm on Friday.

Atiku, a former vice president, emerged the PDP presidential candidate on Sunday.

The party is expected to send the names of the two men to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) next week.
