Without the company of Atiku Abubakar, its presidential candidate, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP will next week in Washington, DC, advertise its programme and share insights on the future of US- Nigeria relations.
Taking the centre-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.
Atiku’s avoidance of the event further confirmed suspicion that he has a case to answer in the United States.
Recently, the spokesman of the Buhari campaign, senior lawyer Festus
Keyamo said Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has a sealed indictment waiting for
him in the US. “The day he visits the US, not as a candidate in an
election, he will face charges.”
