Igbo youths warn Atiku over running mate issue

Igbo youths under the auspices of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC) have cautioned the presidential candidate of PDP, Atiku Abubakar against any plan to drop Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate.

There are speculations that Atiku is facing pressures from governors to drop Okowa and replace him with his Rivers state counterpart, Nyesom Wike.

In a statement by the national president of OYC, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike and the secretary, Comrade Obinna Achionye says any attempt to replace Okowa would backfire.

Nnabuike says the Igbo would not accept losing out completely in the scheme of things, having lost the opportunity to produce the presidential candidate of either the PDP or APC.
