The Peoples Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, along with his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, and a number of other party leaders, would on October 29 2022, attend the Diaspora Summit in Houston, Texas, the United States of America, ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The occasion would give the candidates a chance to address the diaspora community about their goals for the country and election-winning tactics.
The summit, organized by the Diasporans for PDP, would also give the organizers a platform to add their views to the ongoing turmoil that has been shaking the party for the past few months.
Victoria Pamugo, the organization’s founder, said in an interview that party members from around the globe would attend the summit, which is primarily focused on getting the party heads to the election as a united body with the only goal of rescuing Nigerians from “the incompetent All Progressives Congress.”
She said: “The theme of this summit is ‘Getting It Right Now’ and by this, we want to send a strong message to our beloved Nigerians that the PDP will get it right this time. A PDP-led government will reposition this nation and make us part of the productive global economy.
“Apart from Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Senator Ifeanyi Okowa; our National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba, PDP Senate caucus leader, Philip Aduda, minority leader of the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu and many others are expected to grace the event.”
Along with Mrs. Pamugo, other PDP members from the Diaspora who are scheduled to attend the summit include Farouk Suleiman, Tony Adiele, Chidi Igwe, and Theodore Igwe from the Netherlands, Canada, and the United States, respectively (United Kingdom).
