Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has met with United Kingdom government officials.

Dino Melaye, spokesperson of the PDP presidential campaign council, had earlier said the former vice-president will travel to the UK on the invitation of the British government.

In a tweet on Tuesday, Abubakar said it was an opportunity for him to share his vision for Nigeria.

“I just concluded successful meetings with The Right Hon. Andrew Mitchell MP—Minister for Development and Africa in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), amongst other key senior UK government officials,” he wrote.

“It was an auspicious occasion to share my vision for Nigeria encapsulated in the Unity SEED with them. It is a vision United by Security, Economy, Education and Devolution (of Powers).

“I solicited their partnership and I am encouraged by the UK government’s strong interest in helping Nigeria RECOVER every facet of its life.”
