The governors including, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, David Umahi and Okezie Ikpeazu of Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia respectively, met with National Assembly members and other party leaders at the residence of Deputy Senate President (DSP), Ike Ekweremadu in Enugu for more than one hour and ended up not rejecting or accepting Obi’s nomination.

Governor Umahi who spoke to journalists at the end of the meeting said that the leaders of the zone were not consulted before the said nomination.


Umahi, who is also the chairman of the South East Governors Forum, said that the Presidential candidate of PDP, Alhaji Abubakar will meet with South East leaders over the choice of his running mate.

Umahi said the stakeholders meeting of PDP extraction in South East was to brainstorm on the various news making the rounds in the social media concerning the purported choice of the former governor of Anambra state as Atiku running mate.

You can be sure , with Atiku's large pocket his nomination of Peter Obi will be a fait accompli whenever he holds the belated meeting with the South East leaders.

What is your problem again, you don't want Peter Obi, if Atiku pick from another tribe, Igbo are being marginalized. All these IGBO ABU IGBO governors, just be careful. Yesterday it was IPOB, today is Peter Obi. When will you people learn. "Unu a Aňuru Nkwu Gbara Ůka." Kurunu Mmiri Bua ONWE Unu.

i don't support Atiku, but it was a good idea that Atiku picked Peter Obi, i heard Peter Obi did well in his state, why do they want to complicate things, or they want some money
