The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, will have a meeting with leaders of the party from the South-West to seek their support FOR HIS presidential BID
The development is coming barely a week after the PDP standard bearer picked his running mate from the South-East.
Atiku and the PDP last Friday settled for a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, after reports of an initial plan to zone the Vice Presidential slot to the South-West.
Before naming Obi as his running mate, some party leaders in the South-West had called on the ex-VP to consider the zone for the VP slot.
However, a top member of the National Working Committee of the PDP told our correspondent on condition of anonymity that the VP slot was given to the South-East zone in order to placate the people of the region over their cry of alleged marginalisation.
