Nigerians have taken to social media to react to reports of 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar picking former Anambra Governor, Peter Obi as running mate.
Obi visited Atiku in his Asokoro, Abuja residence around 3 pm on Friday, after which they went into a closed-door meeting, fuelling speculations that the Waziri of Adamawa could announce him as his running mate anytime from now.

Looks like Peter Obi will be the VP. That will be a solid solid solid solid pick. It’s only been 5 days but, so far, Atiku hasn’t put a foot wrong yet

I want to first congratulate every Nigerian then South Easterners for the choice of Peter Obi as running mate of Atiku.
It’s not enough to always shout unity, this is what unity is.

I think @atiku & PETER OBI will make a great team. They are both successful businessmen.
They both understand the benefits of industrialization. And most importantly, they are both employers of labour…
what more can Nigerians ask for if not employment?

Thank you Atiku Abubakar for picking Peter Obi as your running mate.
Nobody can call Peter Obi corrupt, he will tell you you’re wasteful and you can’t respond.
Let’s win this once and for all.
Peter Obi has more integrity than everyone in this Admin. …

I swear i love the energy from Yorubas towards Peter Obi. At least on my TL.

If Atiku has truly picked Peter Obi, then Buhari should start dualizing the road to Daura…

Peter Obi was a fantastic pick by Atiku. At least, he is as cerebral as VP Osinbajo.

Watch as children of this world will go and start digging nonsense now.
“Oh Peter Obi had 3 girlfriends while he was at Uni.”
“Peter Obi stole 23 HB pencils in 1974.”
“Peter Obi did this and that.”

Come post 29 May 2019, you find Peter Obi on economy class or by the luggage belt dragging space with you, don't be surprised. Naim way

It would be very very nice for Osinbajo and Peter Obi to go head to head in a debate. Father Lord, it would be a cracker. Brain vs brain. Lord please let this happen.
Buhari and Atikulate must debate too 😞

Nothing anybody can say about Peter Obi that will shake most people. If you say he beat your family members with bulala and koboko in the market square I am here to tell you it’s because they were wasting public funds.
