PDP Diaspora Initiative Welcomes Atiku Abubakar to Washington DC, USA
PDP Diaspora Initiative, a US-based organization of members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has sent a welcome message to His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, the 2019 PDP presidential candidate, on his visit to Washington DC, USA.
Mr. Atiku Abubakar’s three-day visit to the United States of America is marked by several meetings with senior government and political officers of the US Government, diplomats, foreign contingents as well as US-based members of the People’s Democratic Party.
In a message to the visiting contingent of PDP leaders and stakeholders, including the PDP Candidate for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Atiku Abubakar, Senate President Bukola Saraki, and the PDP Special Adviser on Strategic and External Engagements Chidoka Osita, PDP Diaspora Initiative Founder and National Chair Honourable Victoria Pamugo expressed satisfaction that the contingent has devoted time for this official visit to the United States even as the general election is coming up in a few weeks in Nigeria.
“For so long, the Buhari-led All Progressive Congress (APC) propaganda has been spreading untruthful information that Atiku is barred from visiting the United States,” Hon. Pamugo said.
“This visit has turned that lie upon itself and I hope that Nigerians can now see beyond these APC lies and focus on the upcoming general elections,” she said.
Almost four years ago, APC was calling for a change and the Nigerian people gave them a chance. But APC has disappointed the people and has established corruption, nepotism and impunity as a way of governing the people, even as Nigerians face severe hardship, joblessness, bad roads, bad schools, inconsistent power supply, no good hospitals, as well as serious hunger and penury.
“All we have seen from President Buhari’s government is complete incompetence and chaos and Nigerians deserve better,” Hon. Pamugo said. “It is time to get rid of APC and give the steering wheel to an experienced driver, Atiku Abubakar, who can lead Nigeria to the next phase of its greatness,” Hon. Pamugo said.
PDP Diaspora Initiative is a US-based registered non-profit organization composed of members of the People’s Democratic Party from all parts of the world, including Austria, Canada, Germany, Japan, Kenya, Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States of America.
