The running mate to Alhaji Abubakar Atiku in
next month’s presidential election, Mr. Peter Obi, has said that the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) flag bearer is not in the USA to prove any point to anyone but
rather to engage partners.
Obi told reporters at the Murtala Muhammed
Airport, Ikeja, that Atiku travelled to Washington DC because it was necessary
for him to do so.
The former governor of Anambra State expressed
surprise at the dust generated by Atiku’s trip.
His words: “Though he does over 90% of his
consultations at home and among Nigerians, now and then, he has to travel to
meet different groups, especially those that will be of assistance in the new
Nigerian project.”
Obi said that Atiku was pre-occupied on how to
create jobs, reduce unemployment in Nigeria, abolish poverty and re-create the
Nigerian economy in order to make Nigeria start working again.
He said: “his trip is
about engaging partners because he wants to hit the ground running without
wasting unnecessary time.”
