His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar and the presidential candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party, on Monday visited the Deputy Senate President,
Senator Ike Ekweremadu for some consultations and to seek his understanding.
On the entourage of H.E Atiku Abubakar were the Director General
of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, who is also the President of the
Senate, Bukola Saraki; National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus; and
the National Organizing Secretary of the party, Col. Austin Akobundu
(retd.).
It was learnt that the visit was for consultation with
Ekweremadu as a run up to the 2019 polls.
With news making round the clock regarding the start of the campaign,
it was imperative to carry out such visit to Ekweremadu. It was gathered that
the entourage asked for his support which he obliged; and also explained to him
that Obi was picked in the interest of the zone in particular and the nation in
general.
It was said, “He was told that Obi does not have any corruption
case against him and that he does not belong to any faction of the party.
“He was also told that Obi’s emergence has further raised the
acceptability level of the PDP across the country.”
Meanwhile, the party has scheduled its National Executive
Committee meeting for Thursday in Abuja.

full composition of the council and also vet its budget for the campaigns.
Secondus confirmed the inauguration of the campaign council to
our correspondent on the telephone.
