The Director, Strategic Communications of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Otunba Dele Momodu, said on Wednesday that an internal poll conducted by the British government has shown that Atiku Abubakar is the leading presidential candidate in Nigeria.
He dropped this hint through a terse statement he issued to explain to Nigerians why Atiku was invited to London by the UK government.
According to Momodu, Atiku was in the United Kingdom to discuss areas of potential future collaboration between Nigeria and the UK. He described Atiku as the leading PDP candidate in the February presidential election.
He said the UK is planning to increase trade partnership with Nigeria, hence the invitation extended to Atiku to discuss future collaboration.
“An internal source is quoted (as) saying an internal poll by the British government shows AA (Atiku Abubakar) as the leading candidate and the possibility of working together for a more effective post-Brexit world which promises to be a win-win for both countries.
“This is especially imperative as the UK seeks to improve and increase trade partnership with Nigeria”, he said.
Starnews Nigeria reports that the PDP Presidential rallies will resume this week in Kogi state.
