See Mixed Reactions As Atiku Abubakar Picks Peter Obi As Running Mate

It was a surprising twist when former vice president of Nigeria Atiku Abubakar picked Former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi as the running mate for the upcoming 2019 presidential election.

Peter Obi was once a member of The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) before he joined People’s Democratic Party (PDP). While some people welcome the choice others are sceptical.

Peter Obi is known for making some cuts on unnecessary spending during his tenure as governor. Some ‘concessions’ were slashed to the displeasure of some people at the time.

Some people believe he will continue in that stride if PDP wins and a lot of people who enjoy the ‘comforts of servitude’ will not be too pleased.

Some Nigerians have expressed their thoughts via Twitter.

If your Vice President is flying economy class & carrying his own bag, let me see the stupid minister, DG or permanent secretary that will fly first class or misuse estacode abroad. Peter Obi brought sanity in Anambra State, he & @atiku will do it again in Abuja. #AtikulatedObi

Only a mentally disconnected member of @OfficialPDPNig can think the electorate in the SW shall wake up on election day to give their votes to one Atiku Abubakar from Adamawa and one Peter Obi from Anambra when a very able, capable and popular Yemi Osinbajo is on the ballot…

This is how Festus Keyamo, Ayedee and BMC will continue to look for things to blackmail Atiku and Peter Obi but they'll always be ahead of them. pic.twitter.com/NdvhrD2gmf

I have seen some of your comments suggesting Peter Obi from South East as VP to Atiku. The only problem here is that Obi has too many enemies in the SE including his state, Anambra. APGA as a political party & his governor will spend any amount of money to work against him, etc.

I wish Peter Obi and Yemi Osinbajo are the presidential candidates of PDP and APC respectively instead of Atiku and Buhari.

A Peter Obi and Atiku candidacy is the most political comic have ever seen, 2 incapacitated, emasculated, incorrigible and corrupt souls.

Dear Mr @Atiku
Peter Obi was ur WORST choice as VP candidate. OBJ asked u to pick him as he's clearly SET YOU UP. The 22yo youth u want voting for him were 10yo kids when he was IMPEACHED! Remember Ladoja and Fayose at that time? I'm not a fan of RECYCLED leaders. Ben Bruce nko? pic.twitter.com/SYGiT5eLoT
