“We visited former Vice President Alhaji @Atiku Abubakar to consult with him on our ongoing discussions about consensus building in our great party, @OfficialPDPNig”, he tweeted.
It was gathered that Atiku is seeking to receive the endorsement of the trio and other aspirants to become the standard bearer.
The PDP is working to produce a consensus candidate before the presidential primary expected to hold in the middle of the year.
Meanwhile, Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike has announced that he would withdraw from the PDP presidential contest if the ticket is zoned to the North.
While inaugurating the zoning committee, national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu confirmed that the party would zone political offices.
The 37-member team is expected to submit its report this week at the secretariat.
