The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has been invited to the Chatham House to speak ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The Chatham House director of the Africa Programme, Alex Vines, however, on Monday said Atiku has not responded to their invitation.

He said, “We have sent an invitation to the candidate of the PDP Atiku Abubakar but he is yet to reply to our invitation.”
