One of Nigeria's leading opposition parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has concluded plans to organise a virtual meeting between its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and all the candidates of the party across the 774 LGAs across the country.
A source within the administrative department of the PDP's campaign office confirmed to Legit.ng that the meeting is a continuation of the party's mop-up campaigns in the close-out before the 2023 general elections.

It was gathered that the meeting would also allow all party candidates to interact with each other, resolve their differences and make proper plans ahead of the presidential and National Assembly polls scheduled for Saturday, February 25.
Recall that the PDP had a similar meeting on Sunday, February 20, 2023, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, where Atiku and his running mate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and other party leaders met with National Assembly candidates, in its final push for victory.

The virtual meeting, the source said, is another opportunity for the PDP and its leaders to showcase its avalanche of membership in the country.
According to the source, the meeting is also a PDP's way of boosting the morale of party members ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The source said:
"This is the first time a political party is organising such a meeting with all its candidates since the inception of this fourth republic in 1999."
Wike fumes, fires shot at Atiku over meeting with influential Rivers stakeholders
Atiku Abubakar's recent meeting with some key stakeholders from Rivers state in Abuja is not sitting well with Governor Nyesom Wike.
Wike said the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party who met with Atiku in Abuja are not actual indigenes of Rivers state.
According to Wike, the 2023 presidential election is an opportunity for Rivers people to send a solid message to Atiku over his action.
Atiku calls Wike's bluff, meets key Rivers PDP stakeholders 6 days to election, gives reason
Wike's anger against Atiku came after some key members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers state met with Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Atiku and the party stakeholders from Rivers state met over the weekend in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city.
According to a former lawmaker, the meeting was compensation for the party's campaign rally that could not occur in Rivers state.
