Abubakar, things to look out for as he searches for his Vice ahead of 2019.
The leadership of the party, led
by its National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, met with Atiku to discuss the
issue.
The meeting was held at the
party’s presidential campaign office, otherwise known as Legacy House, Maitama,
Abuja, on Sunday night, according to Punch.
Some criteria were set for who

series of meetings would be held within the week in order to enable the party
meet the deadline set by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,
