Obviously the search for a running mate on the presidential ticket of Atiku Abubakar of the PDP has been narrowed to two eminent individuals from the South South, a medical doctor and a lawyer - Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State and Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.

Ifeanyi Okowa:
The governor of Delta State, in my estimation, would be Atiku's most preferred candidate for the position. He has a character of calmness and cerebral disposition (typical of what he is by profession - a medical doctor). Politically, his kind of person will be pliable and subservient, the kind of person suitable and preferred for a vice presidential position. He will quietly occupy the office of Vice President and play second fiddle very well. He will be a good gentleman-Vice President.

Nysom Wike:
In my estimation, the Rivers State governor is the last person Atiku would want to work with as Vice. Wike is a strong man, a tough character, his manner of vehement and aggressive expression of himself is just typical of what he is by profession - a lawyer. Wike will never be pliable and subservient in the office of Vice President, he is not the kind of person that will quietly occupy the office and play second fiddle very well. But he is a good choice for the position if Atiku and PDP are really looking for who will energetically work for the country and not for the president. After all, the Vice President should be an employee of the people of the country and not of the president.
Financially, politically and otherwise, Wike has a lot of capacity to galvanize enormous support from the South for Atiku and the PDP especially if he is made the running mate on the presidential ticket.

Ifeanyi Okowa and Nyesom Wike are good, if the search has been narrowed to the two of them. It is difficult to really say one is better than the other, because the two of them are good for the job, the two of them are eminently qualified. Let's see who Atiku and the PDP will choose!
