The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has waved aside reports
that it has picked the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike, as the running
mate to presidential flagbearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
Reports emerged on Tuesday saying that the Selection
Committee of the PDP has settled for Wike as the vice-presidential candidate of
the main opposition party.
But addressing reporters in Abuja on Wednesday, the National
Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, said the reports could only
be in the realm of rumour.
According to him, the NWC of the party is currently still
consulting in order to pick the best vice-presidential candidate for the party
in the 2023 elections.
“We have a process as a party because we are organic. We
follow through with the processes.
“We recognize the importance of participatory democracy,
ensuring that every stakeholder and organ of the party is involved in our
decision-making process.
“This is the beginning of the process, consideration and
advisory body need to get to the level where, in consultation with the presidential
candidate, they will deliberate on who is most suitable.
“That process is ongoing, so any report of a particular
candidate at this point is probably premature,” he said.
