The Peoples Democratic Party (South-South Chairman), Emmanuel Ogidi, has announced that the party will hold high-level meetings with former presidential candidate Peter Obi and ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Speaking on Wednesday’s edition of the morning brief on Channels Television, Ogidi emphasised that these consultations are key to restoring the party’s national influence. “Even Atiku Abubakar, as the former vice president of the country, we are going to meet him. Obi and Atiku are ex-members of the PDP, and they flew the party’s flag as vice presidential and presidential candidates, respectively, in 2019. On Tuesday, members of the PDP National Working Committee met with ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, who served as the country’s leader under the party.
