Former Vice-President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, is planning to retain Peter Obi as his running mate if he clinches the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), sources have said.
The duo clinched the PDP presidential ticket in the 2019 general elections although they lost to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) which fielded Late President Muhammadu Buhari as its flag bearer.
According to our close source, moves by Atiku to select Peter Obi as his running mate are however facing stiff resistance from ADC Southerners who want him to pick one of them as his running mate.
It was learnt that some of the ADC aspirants are picking the presidential forms of the ADC which they plan to use as negotiation for the VP slot.
