The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has arrived the United States of America for campaign purpose.
Atiku stormed Washington D.C. in America with his entourage for consultations and meetings ahead of the 2023 election in the country.
He flew to the U.S, alongside the Director-General of the PDP Presidential Campaign, Governor Aminu Tambuwal.
Others are ex-Imo Governor Emeka Ihedioha, and business mogul, Raymond Dokpesi, both key members of the campaign team.
The former vice president and his team are also expected to meet with top Nigerian business leaders in the U.S., and the nation’s young professionals in the diaspora.
They were received by ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki, House of Representatives Minority leader, Ndudi Elumelu, ex-lawmaker Dino Melaye, Atiku’s Special Assistant Phrank Shuaibu, among others.
Atiku’s engagements include a meeting with Nigerians in diaspora, as well as with PDP members in North America.
Recall that there were speculations that the Waziri of Adamawa has been banned from entering the United States before the 2019 elections in the country.
Atiku has now traveled to United States on a few occasions since then.
The trip was then condemned by the APC through its campaign spokesperson, Festus Keyamo. The Minister of State for Labour is serving in the same role ahead of the polls.
Atiku is expected to return to the country next week Monday and the next point of call for the continuation of his campaign is Ekiti state in the South west of Nigeria.
