The Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Peter Obi, has visited leaders of the party in the South-East, including governors, to seek support for his nomination
The governors had expressed reservations over Obi’s selection as Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s running mate, saying they were not consulted.
However, in a bid to diffuse the ‘tension’ that greeted his nomination as the PDP vice presidential candidate, the former Anambra State governor embarked on a peace mission to meet with leaders of the party in the South-East.
Obi paid a courtesy visit to Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, on Friday.
Before Friday’s visit to the Enugu State Government House, Obi had visited Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, and Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, as well as Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.
Obi also visited President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, at his Enugu residence, on Friday.
Speaking during the courtesy call on Ugwuanyi, Obi said his nomination for the position ‘was for all Igbo’.
