Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, has reaffirmed his choice to support Ifeanyi Okowa as governor of Delta state despite calls for him to be replaced.
On Saturday, newsmen gathered in Abuja to report that 13 governors and PDP supporters are reaching out to Atiku to defuse the situation.
While some are calling for Okowa to be ousted, others are requesting a truce, which would force Atiku to approach Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers state.

But on Saturday, Atiku tweeted on his verified account @Atiku: “Getting this country back on track will require all hands on deck.
“And I am excited to go on this journey with my vice-presidential candidate, H.E Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa @AIOkowa.
“Let’s come together as ONE towards a brighter future for all and one Nigeria.”
He subsequently attached a video of Okowa addressing Nigerians.
In the video, Okowa describes himself as an incurable optimist ready to work towards the insecurity plaguing the country.
