PDP goes to America without Atiku

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will next week be in Washington, DC, to advertise its programme and share insights on the future of US- Nigeria relations.

However, the presidential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will be absent but will be represented by his running mate, Peter Obi.

The decision of Atiku not to travel to the United States of America (USA) might not be unconnected to corruption allegation against the former Vice President by the United States of America (USA) Senate.

However, taking the center-stage instead is Atiku’s running mate, Peter Gregory Obi, according to an online report.

Mr. Obi will be a guest at the Center For Strategic & International Studies, CSIS to discuss the PDP’s economic and security objectives, as well as his views on the future of U.S.-Nigeria relations.

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, January 15, 2019.

Established in Washington, D.C., over 50 years ago, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a bipartisan, nonprofit policy research organisation dedicated to providing strategic insights and policy solutions to help decisionmakers chart a course toward a better world.
