Buhari's Trip To Us Cancelled, Why??? by Africadaily(m): 6:58pm On Jan 24, 2015
Latest reports say the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari, will no longer travel to the US
on Monday. According to a Premium Times report,
Buhari’s trip to the US was cancelled because the United States-based Center
for Strategic and International Studies
(CSIS), which invited the former head
of state to its programme scheduled for
Monday, has cancelled the event.

CSIS’s director of the Africa
programme, Jennifer Cooke, made the
disclosure in an email she sent to the
online news portal on Friday. She, however, explained that the
cancellation of the trip was because of
a change in Buhari’s schedule.
Buhari Gen Muhammadu Buhari In response to an earlier enquiry, the
organisation had said the APC
presidential candidate was invited to
its Washington headquarters “to give a
major public address on Nigeria’s
future as it stands on the edge of a pivotal national election.”
Cooke, in her response to this
newspaper’s enquiry on Friday, said:
“First, I want to make you aware that,
because of a change in his schedule,
Gen Buhari will not be travelling to the
United States, and the event on Monday has been cancelled.” She explained that the leading
presidential candidates were invited to
enable them to share their
perspectives on the elections. “The CSIS Africa Program issued almost
identical invitations to both leading
political candidates (President
Jonathan and Gen. Buhari) to share
their perspectives on Nigeria’s
forthcoming elections and Nigeria’s future more broadly,” Cooke said.

“There is considerable interest among
U.S. policymakers and the Nigerian
Diaspora community in the February 14
elections, and an interest in hearing
from both candidates first hand their
thoughts on how best to ensure that the elections will be free, fair, credible
and peaceful.
“The Africa Program has no position on
which candidate should or will be
successful.” She said over the year, the programme
had provided a neutral ground to
profile the views of different relevant
institutions and political parties. According to her, “Over the course of
the last year, through the CSIS Nigeria
Election Forum, the CSIS Africa Program
has provided a neutral venue to profile
a range of views from Nigerian civil
society organizations, political leadership of both parties, and
government officials.

“The series has aimed to convey to a
U.S. policy audience what is at stake in
the forthcoming elections and support
efforts to ensure that the electoral
process is free, fair, credible and
peaceful.” It will be recalled that Buhari and
President Goodluck Jonathan, both
front runners in the February 14
presidential election, were invited by
the organisation to speak on Nigeria’s
future. However, some reports had surfaced
that Buhari, who had planned to make
the trip to the US on Saturday, ahead of
the event scheduled for January 26,
was travelling to the US on medical
grounds.

They reviewed whatever course work he did and found out he was an ignoramus not worth addressing a war college.

It wasnt cancelled, but put on hold, and here(below) is the reason why....any more question?

Washington DC — The much-advertised invitation to a public lecture by the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) by the United States-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) has been put on hold.

This is as the US State Department, THISDAY was told, might send Secretary of State, Senator John Kerry, on Sunday to confer with President Goodluck Jonathan, Buhari and the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, on the need to ensure a hitch-free polls acceptable to both parties during the February 14 presidential elections and the governorship on February 28.

Because the fear of PDP is the beginning of wisdom. All eyes are on Buhari. He better goes and treats his ailments so he doesn't lose both life and elections.
