FLASH: NNPP offers Peter Obi Vice Presidential ticket. The party is willing to give him the position of Vice President, but Obi's camp is insisting on the Presidential ticket while Kwankwaso serves as VP.

Chimamanda Adichie has said she can't wait to vote for Peter Obi. Obi supporters were happy with the endorsement. There was no attack from those who are BATified, Atikulated or Kwankwasonified over her choice. Everyone should be able to campaign for their favorite candidate.
