Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said the committee set up to choose a running mate for him, did not recommend the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.

The committee, rather recommended three candidates and there was no record of voting, he said.

He made this statement in an interview with Arise TV.

His comments contradicts the words of Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, who chaired the panel.

Shortly after Mr Atiku emerged the presidential candidate of the PDP, the party set up a 17-member panel to help him pick a suitable running mate – at his request.

The Ortom-led panel had deliberated and considered three Southern governors, namely Mr Wike, Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State and Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State.
