Former Vice President Alhaji Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has picked ex-gov of Anabra State Peter Obi as his running mate in the coming 2019 general elections.
This development is against the expectations of many people. It is believed that the Vice Presidential slot should be from the South-West.
The existing permutation was that if Chairman of the party is chosen from the South-South and Presidential slot to the North then Vice President should emerge from the South-West. But that is not the case here, as Peter Obi is indeed from South-Easth.
Prior to this time, all eyes were on the duo of the Atiku Abubakar Primary Campaign D.G and former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel and President of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Akinwumi Adesina.
