The National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, confirmed the planned visit by Clinton to the country, saying the former ruling party had been informed.

“We are aware; we have nothing to hide. All what we want is credible, fair and acceptable elections. We also don’t want interference from anyone concerning the workings of INEC and the security agents,” he said.

Although there are other presidential hopefuls in the upcoming elections, both candidates are the front liners in the February 16 Presidential Polls.

President Buhari will vote in his home state of Katsina, Atiku will cast his vote in Adamawa state.
