A public affairs analyst, Summer Sambo, says there are indications that Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, will pick his running mate from the South-East.
Sambo said this on Monday while featuring on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.
He was responding to the recent primary elections held in the country ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“Indicators around Atiku’s running mate suggest he will likely pick the South-East. The South-East has long been his political base in the South.
“He picked Peter Obi in 2019 and Okowa in 2023. His coming to the South-East could be to reduce the influence of Peter Obi in the zone,” he said.
Remember he ADC declared Atiku its presidential candidate after he defeated former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen.
