Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last elections, Atiku Abubakar, has arrived back in Nigeria in preparation for the party’s much-anticipated National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
Atiku’s spokesperson, Paul Ibe, confirmed his return to Daily Trust, stating that Atiku considers it his obligation to attend the NEC meeting as a member, stakeholder, and caucus party member.
Ibe elaborated that Atiku had been abroad for his annual vacation, which had been postponed due to the recent elections and subsequent legal proceedings.
