Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar; his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa; and a host of party leaders will on October 29, 2022, attend the PDP Diaspora Summit in Houston, Texas, United States of America.
The event will provide a platform for the candidates to speak to the Diaspora community on their plans for Nigeria as well as their strategies for winning the elections.
Organised by the Diasporan for the PDP, the summit will also provide a fertile ground for the organisers to add their voices to the crisis rocking the party in the past few months.
The founder of the organisation, Victoria Pamugo, said party members from various parts of the world would participate in the summit, which she said was primarily focused on getting the PDP to go into the elections as a united body with the sole desire of rescuing Nigerians from the clutches of “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; the PDP Senate caucus leader, Philip Aduda; minority leader of the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu, and many others are expected to grace the event.”
Other members of the party in the Diaspora community billed to attend the summit are Chidi Igwe (Canada), Theodore Igwe (United States), Tony Adiele (The Netherlands) and Farouk Suleiman (United Kingdom).
