Former Vice President and 2023 Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has addressed reports that he picked Emeka Ihedioha as his running mate.
There were reports on Wednesday that the former Governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, is set to emerge as his running mate.
The reports further stated that Ihedioha’s name is among other names being considered as qualified running mates from the South that would enable the PDP win the 2023 general elections
Speaking with Daily Trust on Thursday, Atiku’s Spokesman, Paul Ibe, denied the report that his principal had shortlisted his possible running mates.
He stated that the PDP presidential candidate would announce his running mate when the time is right.
Ibe also asked supporters and well-wishers of the PDP Presidential candidate to wait for the official announcement.
According to him, “When we decide to speak on the issue of running mate, it will not be a subject of speculation, we will roll it out. It is not going to be something that will be speculated on social media, online platforms or Whatsapp groups
“So from my own stable, I cannot confirm that to be true. These are the times for all manner of speculations. People should endeavour to wait for the official announcement. But this speculation is unknown to me.”
