The Board of Trustees BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will reportedly meet with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday over the selection of his running mate.
According to The PUNCH, the party intended to make an input to ensure that the best person emerges as the vice-presidential candidate.
Credible party sources told the paper that the party hinged its decision to interface with Atiku on the matter because of sensitivity in the choice of a running mate.
“The main party we are facing in the election is the ruling party (All Progressives Congress), so since we have a formidable candidate already, it’s only wise to complement that with a very formidable running mate.
“That is why we don’t want to leave anything to chance, and that is why the BoT wants to meet with our candidate on Monday. The idea is to celebrate the successful convention, discuss with him (Atiku) over the running mate and how to go about our campaign to win the election,” a source was quoted to have said.
