The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential
Campaign Council has reached to the trip to the
United States by Atiku Abubakar, presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Festus Keyamo, spokesman of the council, in a
statement on Sunday, recalled that the campaign
had in December predicted that by running for
President of Nigeria, Atiku intends to get some
immunity from prosecution.
He said APC was not surprised by his visit to the
U.S because it was really a non-event considering
the issues involved in the forthcoming election.
Keyamo added: “However, we have bad news for
those who think this is a momentous event for
Atiku Abubakar: the visit was nothing but a
downright catastrophe because rather than dispel
the fact of indictments hanging over his head, it
further confirms and reinforces those facts for the
following reasons:
(1) The visit had all the trappings of a fugitive
sneaking into America under a “special diplomatic
waiver”. For the candidate of the major
opposition party in Nigeria, it is an absolute
disaster that the visit was not announced ahead
of time in Nigeria, with his programmes and
itinerary clearly spelt out, the decent and
customary minimum standard of such visits. This
culminated in his close aides issuing conflicting
statements about the visit when he was already
on his way there. In fact, one of them called Paul
Ibe actually spoke to the Press that his principal
was nowhere near America! Such was the secrecy
of the planning and execution of that visit.
(2) It is shameful that a presidential candidate of
a major opposition party in Africa’s most
populous country would visit America, and the
international press was kept in the dark: There
was NO SINGLE press conference with the array
of international media and correspondents
required for such ‘high-profile’ visit. Atiku knows
he has no moral stamina to withstand the
avalanche of hard questions bordering on his
sordid past in America. In fact, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar claims he visited the Voice of America
(VOA) but only did two carefully-packaged
interviews with the Hausa service and the English
to Africa program – platforms that have always
been available to him back home. How strange!
In fact, both the Twitter handle (@VOANews) and
official website of VOA did not mention any such
visit of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to their station. For
news hounds, you would agree with us that such
an ‘important personality’ cannot walk into a
news premises without reporters swooping on
him. Whatever he went to do in the premises of
the VOA must have been a carefully-arranged
private visit for the photo-ops, which was
intended to scam Nigerians. What more evidence
do we need of a “sneak-in-sneak-out”
arrangement than this?.
(3) For a candidate who claims he wants to “get
Nigeria working again” (a meaningless phrase) to
sneak into America without meeting major players
in private businesses is a curiosity and an
indication that we are dealing with a candidate
with a dodgy and questionable character. He
claims he went to the U.S Chamber of Commerce,
which is supposed to be a business federation.
Again, the Twitter handle (@USChamber) and the
website of the organization make no mention of
the visit of such an ‘important personality’ to
them. Maybe their famous American lobbyist on a
salary of N9million per month can help them ‘do
something’ about this after this press statement.
(4) It is also an anomaly that the candidate of
the major opposition party in Nigeria sneaked into
America and did not meet large sections of
political leaders of similar ideologies and
persuasions towards which he claims to be
inclined. For all his claim to be going to America
to meet “U.S Government officials”, he only
succeeded in meeting a certain “Congressman
Smith”, who is the equivalent of a member of the
House of Representatives in Nigeria. You would
agree with us that as dignified and respected as
the office of a Member of the House of
Representatives is, an important personality
cannot come to Nigeria on an official visit and
claim he has met the “Nigerian government
officials” after he pays a private visit to that
Member. For all we know, the Congressman
Smith may just be a private friend of Dr. Bukola
Saraki or Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. That reminds us
of Atiku’s famous legislator friend he threw under
the bus, Williams Jefferson, who taught us how
to hide laundered money ( which was meant for
Atiku Abubakar) in the deep freezer when the
cops came knocking on his door!”
