The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate,
Atiku Abubakar has said he was in search of a credible vice presidential
candidate who has the potential of succeeding him.
Unveiling the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa as his
running mate on Thursday at the party’s headquarters, Atiku said Okowa has the
potential he sought for.
Atiku also said his running mate must understand the
security challenges of the country, stressing that he (running mate) must have
the ability to speak his mind on issues bothering the nation.
The PDP presidential candidate stated that Okowa possesses
all qualities needed for the job of a Vice president.
According to him, Okowa has done well in education and other
sectors as governor of Delta State.
Reports had earlier emerged that Atiku would be picking the
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike as his running mate.
But according to some analysts, Wike may be too big for the
office of Vice president and may not be loyal to Atiku as expected.
