Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has left Nigeria for the United States of America.

According to a statement issued by his team, Atiku would spend a week in the US, where he would meet with Nigerians and the business community.

"As part of his programmes and engagements while in the US, he would be meeting with Nigerians in Diaspora as well as with PDP members in North America.

"He would also meet with top Nigerian business leaders based in the US and later with young Nigerian professionals in the diaspora, among other meetings with some business community," the statement said.

Atiku had flagged off his electioneering campaign in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital, three weeks ago.

It was followed by the Kaduna campaign and last Saturday had another campaign in Benin, Edo State.

In a tentative presidential campaign timetable, Atiku is expected back to the country on Monday and by Tuesday, November 1, 2022, it would be the turn of Ekiti State, while the campaign rally in Ondo State would hold on Wednesday, November 2.
