The National Chairman of the Labour party, Julius Abure on Monday disclosed that the party’s presidential running mate will be selected from the Northern region.
Abure said that the party’s flagbearer has the constitutional right to nominate his Vice President candidate and the nomination will follow the principles of Federal Character for the sake of equity.
“While I want to say that it may be too premature for me to speak, and the constitution also gives the Presidential candidate the right to nominate his Vice Presidential Candidate, I feel it would be more proper for the presidential candidate to answer.
“However, I want to assure you that as a party that is reasonable; as a party that believes in equity and justice; as a party that believes in social justice and equal opportunity for all, a vice-presidential candidate that is widely accepted, with powerful credentials, is most likely going to come from the Northern region, there is no doubt about that.”
