The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, is in the United States to share his vision for the country with young Nigerians in the diaspora, especially those in the two North American countries.
Atiku, who was vice president of Nigeria from 1999 to 2007, under the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo, arrived in the US capital, Washington, DC, on Thursday on a working visit.
The visit will afford the presidential candidate the opportunity for high-level engagements aimed at setting the pace for building “an economically stronger and more secure Nigeria,” according to a news release issued by his media adviser, Paul Ibe.
According to the statement, Atiku and his delegation will be in the US for a week-long engagement that will see him not only share his vision for Nigeria with young Nigerian professionals in the US and Canada but also with the US business community.
