Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP), paid a visit to members of the US Congress, who are favourably disposed to President Donald Trump. The former vice-president, who has not visited the US in 12 years, made a surprise visit to the US on Thursday, with plans to speak at the US Chamber of Commerce on Friday.
Before his off the record meeting at the chamber, Atiku paid a visit to Chris Smith, a member of the Republican Party, and representative for New Jersey, who is serving his 20th term in office. Atiku also met Micheal McCaul, the Homeland Security committee chairman at the US Congress. Both congressmen are known allies of the current US president, who often back his policies in the US Congress.
