The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) Atiku Abubakar and his team, Thursday, paid a courtesy visit to the European Union Ambassadors to Nigeria in Abuja.

According to the former Customs boss, it was a robust discussion with focus on the next phase for Nigeria politically and the success of the 2023 election, amongst others.

Atiku in a statement he personally signed said, “Not only is unity in Nigeria critical, but partnership with the EU is necessary for Nigeria to reach its full potential. In addition, I shared my vision of a greater Nigeria and gave them an insight into my socio-economic and political agenda for our country.

“On its part, the EU assured of technical support to Nigeria, primarily to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the observation and monitoring of the elections.”

It would be recalled that the war between Atiku and Wike recently escalated when Wike called for the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as the National Chairman of the PDP just few months to the 2023 General elections.
