Atiku’s return to Abuja, following weeks spent overseas, aligns with the upcoming NEC meeting scheduled by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP for April 18. This meeting holds significant importance as it marks a significant gathering of the party’s leadership to address prevailing internal challenges and chart a way forward.
As a pivotal figure within the PDP, Atiku’s presence is expected to galvanize discussions and initiatives aimed at resolving internal discord and fostering party unity post-2023 general elections.
