2023: Why Atiku shunned Wike, picked Okowa as running mate – Ayu

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, has revealed the reason presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, picked the governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate.

Ayu, who spoke during the Northern Christian Youth Assembly Summit in Abuja, said Atiku, settled for Okowa as his running mate above his Rivers counterpart, Nyesom Wike, because of humility and more excellent performance in office.

Recall that Wike accused the party of violating the principles of equity, fairness and balance, noting that the laws guiding the party have been trampled upon.
