The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says it will announce its vice presidential candidate within the next 48 hours.
Iyorchia Ayu, the national chairman of the party stated this in brief remarks before the commencement of the meeting of committee charged with responsibility of picking a running mate for its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Tuesday in Abuja.
Ayu said Atiku who was supposed to be part of the meeting sent in message notifying the gathering of other engagement elsewhere.
He said, “The candidate wrote to us, as the administrative arm of the party, on the choice of his running mate.
“Various organs of the party are well-represented in his committee — the National Working Committee, the Governors Forum, the National Assembly, and former governors who have put forward their candidates.
“This deliberation will be chaired by my able deputy, Ambassador Umaru Damagum.
“I wish you a successful deliberation and I hope you come up with a conclusion between tomorrow and Friday.
“Our presidential candidate, this time, has decided to carry everybody along unlike 2019 when he didn’t consult widely in his choice of running mate.”
