PDP Campaign Council Gives Reasons Atiku Travels To Meet With UK Government 

The presence of former vice president of Nigeria and presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar in the United Kingdom has continued to trigger mixed reactions especially among the opposition parties in the last 24 hours.

Atiku alongside some of his campaign team left Nigeria on Monday to the UK for what many people initially described as a jamboree trip that is not expected to yield any result.

However, it was revealed on Wednesday that the former vice president was in the UK to meet with the government officials and discuss areas of potential future collaboration between Nigeria and UK

Director, Strategic Communications of PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation Otunba Dele Momodu, said this in a terse statement.

He described Atiku as the leading PDP candidate in the February presidential election.

He added that “an internal source is quoted (as) saying an internal poll by the British government shows AA (Atiku Abubakar) as the leading candidate and the possibility of working together for a more effective post-Brexit world which promises to be a win-win for both countries.

“This is especially imperative as the UK seeks to improve and increase trade partnership with Nigeria.”

The PDP Presidential rallies is expected to resume later this week in Kogi state.
