Director General of PDP Presidential Campaign Council and Senate
President, Dr Bukola Saraki, as well as Senator Ben Murray-Bruce,
among others.

While in Washington D.C., Atiku met with some Nigerians and
participated in a business roundtable at the US Chamber of
Commerce.

He also held discussions with some Nigerians living in D.C.
metropolis where he revealed his plans and commitment to working
with them to ensure the development of Nigeria if elected
president.

He had reiterated his commitment to the devolution of powers at
the centre, thereby “allowing for a smaller, and more effective
Federal Government”.
