The committee set up by the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to pick Atiku Abubakar’s running mate have picked Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike.
Wike floored Ifeanyi Okowa, Delta state governor to emerged as Atiku’s running mate.
Wike won by a whopping 16-3 vote as Okowa only got 3 votes.
Observers believe that Ifeanyi Okowa would have been the natural fit for the job, but the obstacle he has is his former godfather, James Ibori, who allegedly mounted a serious opposition and resistance to Atiku picking Okowa because his former political son Okowa hijacked the PDP delta state structure from him.
