Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has arrived in Enugu for the party’s South-East Stakeholders Zonal Meeting.
The former Vice President, who arrived at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport on Tuesday morning, is expected at the Baze Event Centre, Independence Layout Enugu, venue of the event.
The event is aimed at uniting the Igbo for PDP and presenting their son, Ifeanyi Okowa, as the party’s vice-presidential candidate. Okowa is Delta State Governor.
This is coming after the South-East failed to get the party’s presidential ticket despite calls for the ticket to be zoned to the region.
