Atiku fires message to new UK Prime Minister Liz Truss

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, has expressed readiness to work with the newly elected leader of the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss.

Atiku expressed his readiness in his congratulatory message to Truss, who was elected on Monday.

Truss will formally take office on Tuesday and become the new UK Prime Minister after Johnson tenders his resignation to Queen Elizabeth II.

Congratulating the new UK Prime Minister, Atiku said;

“The UK has proven, yet again, the resilient power of democracy. The election of MP Liz Truss as leader of the Conservative Party was a hard-fought process, but the ultimate winners are the people of the United Kingdom.”

“I join all other friends of the UK to celebrate this moment. I equally look forward to an enhanced partnership of the new leadership of the Conservative Party with Nigeria and African countries in the areas of human capital development, trade, and strengthening democracy and the integrity of elections. -AA,” Atiku noted.
