  South-West PDP demands Senate Presidency, SGF, party chair from Atiku Atiku Abubakar According to Saturday PUNCH, the Peoples Democratic Party and Atiku Abubakar, its presidential candidate, are planning how to capture support from the South-West. This came when Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, was announced as the candidate for president of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
