To get an acceptable running mate for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, the National Chairman of the party, Senator Iyiochia Ayu, and members of the committee set up for the purpose, are currently holding a closed-door meeting.

The meeting just started at the party’s National Secretariat.

It has the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Aminu Tambuwal; Bauchi State Governor,  Bala Mohammed; former Senate President, David Mark; former Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko; former Cross River State Governor, Liyel Imoke, and Senator Philip Aduda, among others, in attendance.

It also issued Friday, July 15, 2022 as a deadline for the parties to submit names of gubernatorial candidates and their running mates.
