Ifeanyi Okowa is Atiku Abubakar running mate
According to our sources, Atiku’s supporters are focusing on Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for the vice presidential position.

“Okowa mobilized resources for us during the primary,” a source said. Even though others argue for (Nyesom) Wike and (Emmanuel) Udom, he is the preferred candidate.”
