BREAKING: Ugwuanyi and Ikpeazu didn’t title their candidate but, they selected Atiku on the eleventh hour-PDP Source

While the source was reacting to the duo’s defeat at the senatorial polls, he said that the two governors did not openly endorse their candidate, but, they later supported the presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
