After days of speculation, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has named Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate for the 2023 presidential race.
Atiku announced Okowa’s name on his verified Twitter handle on Thursday.
He said, “I am delighted to announce Governor @IAOkowa as my Vice Presidential candidate. I look forward to travelling our great country together, engaging with all Nigerians and building a shared future of peace, unity, and prosperity for all. As One We Can Get It Done. #OneNigeria. -AA”
Hitherto, it seemed like Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike might be the running mate, but Atiku’s announcement has put an end to that speculation.
