Atiku Picks Ex-Gov. Peter Obi As Running Mate

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.

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.
