The people's Democratic Party (PDP) 's presidential candidate in the next Saturday's general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has expressed disappointment over his decision for picking the former governor of Anambra state, Mr Peter Obi as his running mate
Atiku made the revelation on Monday the 18th of February, 2019 during a PDP caucus meeting held in Abuja.
According to our source, Atiku was quoted to have said that he picked Obi on the ground that the igbos would vote for PDP but the reaction based on the recent elections postponement has shown that Obi may not even deliver his local government to talk of the state.
Atiku however appealed to the PDP's national working committee and other top ranking members of the party to in the interest of party ideology forgive his mistakes and lack of proper consultations while nominating Obi as his running mates.
Recall that Obi 's emergence as the PDP's vice presidential candidate in the 2019 general election has caused an irreparable damage in the party and still create a huge anti party activity within the party's faithfuls.
The proponents of the above view are of the view that Peter Obi is not a member of the PDP and never believed in the party 's manifestos hence the reason his name is not registered in the party ward register in Agulu his home town.
The group therefore wondered how a presidential vice candidate of a noble party like PDP can not have his name registered in his political wards.
Research have indicated that Obi lost in his Agulu ward to APGA in 2017 and up till now there is no conviction that he is going to win his poolling booth come Saturday the 23th February, 2019
With the above findings, is Peter Obi not a liability to the PDP?
