The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party has said he saying.prefers a younger person as a running mate.
Obi stated this while featuring on Arise TV Morning Show.
The former Anambra Governor said that he prefers a younger person who has something to offer to complement his ticket rather than recycling old hands who had been in the government before now.
However, when asked to clarify social media rumours that he had picked the Director of Publicity and Advocacy of Northern Elders Forum, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, as his vice-presidential candidate, Obi said that though consultations are ongoing, he was yet to pick a running mate.
He said, “We’re talking to a quite number of people and Hakeem Baba-Ahmed is a capable hand. But I wish I can work with somebody who is more younger.
“I prefer younger people who have a lot to offer rather than recycling old hands. I want a competent person and I am building a formidable team.
