The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has told its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, things to look out for as he searches for his Vice ahead of 2019.

The leadership of the party, led by its National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, met with Atiku to discuss the issue.

The meeting was held at the party’s presidential campaign office, otherwise known as Legacy House, Maitama, Abuja, on Sunday night, according to Punch.

Some criteria were set for who should partner Atiku to enable it to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 14, 2019 presidential election.

Atiku and his team were the first to arrive for the meeting before Secondus and his team, who were delayed with flight schedule from Port Harcourt.

The meeting started late in the night and lasted for about two hours.

Atiku was mandated to submit list of his preferred candidates as running mates to the party.

The ex-VP was told told that the running mate should be younger than him and be grounded in the economy, according to Punch.

The newspaper also reported that series of meetings would be held within the week in order to enable the party meet the deadline set by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the submission of candidates’ names for the elections.

Nice idea

genternity:
Atiku/Peter obi
perfect match

Seconded!

A vice from the east is all he needs

hisgrace090:

Seconded!

Nwanne buru onwe gi ga court

I pray he picks his vice from the SE

They should just say they told him to pick iweala

All this codedness is not necessary.

Peter obi is grounded in economy.

Soludo is grounded in economy.

Okonjo-Iweala is grounded in economy.

Arunma- Oteh is grounded in economy.

Olisa Agbakoba is grounded in economy and a has a london Masters in economic policy.

I wish Moghalu can decamp and become Atiku's VP too.


Easy pick for Atiku.

Let's see how it goes.

I still believe Atiku will only try...this permutations and combinations will help a bit, but Buhari is winning 2019 elections.

I have PVC, I will vote and my vote will count.

NB: Don't quote or mention me if
1. you don't have PVC
2. you have PVC but you are far away from the unit you registered and so, you won't vote.
3. You are too polish to stand for hours during election and so, you won't vote.
4. You believe your vote won't count and so you won't bother yourself

I am from the south south, I will advice the PDP to pick the VP from the SW. My reason is that the SE has a very low voters strength. Remember 2015 an entire state in the SE was only able to produce 300, 000 vote for PDP. Our igbo brothers were busy doing their business in their shops.
The SW has more voters strength and are more politically enlightened than the SE.
It will be a big mistake to give the VP slot to the SE because all the votes from the SE put togther is equivalent to Lagos and oyo state votes.
The SE people don't usually come out in mass to vote. They prefer to go and sell in their shops during election day.

Check 2011. SE was heavily disenfranchised in 2015. They vety scared of SE in 2015 and did everything possible to disenfranchise the region
