Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has revealed how Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party shunned popular views on his choice of running mate.
It was gathered that some chieftains of the party had rooted for Nyesom Wike as Atiku’s deputy but he instead settled for Ifeanyi Okowa, the current governor of Delta State.
The development has torn the party apart with many governors aligning themselves with the APC candidates, Bola Tinubu.
Reacting, Ortom said Atiku’s choice of Okowa was a personal decision.
He told Channels TV, “I supported Wike to be Atiku’s running mate. But unfortunately it was zoned to someone else.”
