Elder statesman and Chairman of
the Northern Elders’ Council (NEC), Alhaji Tanko Yakasai has reacted to the
choice of Peter Obi as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in 2019.
Atiku chose the former Governor as his running mate in the 2019
presidential tussle.
Yakassai in a statement described
Atiku’s choice as a balanced one owing to the fact that Obi is a Christian and
from the South-East.
He, however, expressed doubt
whether the choice of Peter Obi is the collective choice of the majority of the
people of the South East.
The statement read: “ It was expected
all along that the slot of the Vice President should go to the South East for
the PDP as APC has chosen the South West.
“What is not ascertained is
whether the choice of Peter Obi is the collective choice of the majority of the
people of the South East.
“Atiku Abubakar/Peter Obi ticket
is a very good one. Atiku Abubakar is a Muslim from the North while Peter Obi
is a Christian from the South just as Muhammadu Buhari is a Muslim from the
North and Yemi Osinbajo is a Christian from the South. Everything is balanced.”
