Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has chosen who will be his running mate in the 2019 general election.

Mr Abubakar popularly known as Atiku on Sunday defeated 11 presidential aspirants of the PDP to clinch the ticket of the opposition party.

The former vice president will have to slug it out with President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressive Congress, (APC). Mr Buhari is seeking a second term in office.

A source close to Mr Atiku who do not want his name published has told NGPOLITICS that the former vice president has settled for Senator Ben Murray-Bruce to be his running mate in the next year presidential election.

“Turaki has chosen to run with Senator Bruce,” the source told this reporter.

The source cited the recent withdrawal of the lawmaker from seeking to return to the Senate as a reference.

When reminded that Mr Bruce said he was stepping down based on the agreement of zoning in his senatorial zone, the source said politicians must always give reason(s) for their action.

“Don’t be deceived by what Bruce said, haven’t you noticed how he has been following the former vice president around?” the source queried.

“If he wants to return to the red chamber, he will, but he withdrew his participation because Atiku promised to run with him,” said the source.

The source added that former President, Goodluck Jonathan, recommended the lawmaker as running mate to the former number two citizen.

Didn't Ohaneze & Massob threaten to kill everyone if SE isn't on the ballot?

This doesn't sound like it's true.

Fake News. Expect more fake news of this sort in the next coming days.

If Atiku is wise, a non politician is his best bet...

The next few days will have such fake news till the PDP picks an official running mate

The poster is mentally deranged. Uche Secondus the albino PDP chairboy is from South South, so Atikuchukwu cannot pick another South South albino as running clown. Do you want all South Easterners to jump inside River Niger? Atikuchukwu the American fugitive can only choose running clown from the South East or from South West. If he decides to choose from the South West, we will be glad to offer him Senator Buruji Kashamu a fellow American fugitive so that we can all know that PDP President and VP candidates are fugitives.

On the contrary, he needs a vp whose clout can get at least two states without even campaigning

I even prefer RENO!
Old face, young body! ;

Ben Bruce?
Too DULL!

Look at them. They "marginalise" themselves first before anyone else does.

Tomorrow same people would be running all over the place screaming marginalisation.

being an AMerican fugitive is none of our business

he wont rule the USA

he is ruling Nigeria

Pdp already has South East, souh souh and some of north central votes. They need an inway into SW. I will prefer he picks Adeshina of the African Development Bank. Inasmuch as Bruce will appeal to the youths, Adesina is far more electable and has more to offer than the Twitter senator.

speedyGonzales:
POOR CHOICE, IF TRUE

i would prefer "akinwunmi adesina" but he may refuse to come because hes not a politician

Akinwunmi Adeshina is a good choice.

Let's just humour this wannabe blogger by posting.
Atiku is not that foolish to chose a Murray Bruce with zero electoral value as VP.
Even a Muslim Muslim ticket would be 100x better than a Murray Bruce.
Even Bruce himself knows the best he can get is as head of an agency or parastatsl if Atiku wins.
