Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) General Muhammadu Buhari, cancelled his planned trip to the United States of America over fear of arrest on human rights charges, according to The Trent.

The Trent also reports that the former military Head of State was scheduled to attend a programme organised by the United States-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, CSIS, on Monday, January 26, 2015, but cancelled at the last minute over fears that his past may catch up with him.

Buhari has human rights charges hunting him over post-election violence which claimed many lives, including NYSC members, after the 2011 general elections which he contested and failed. There have been legal proceedings against the retired army general for him to face trial at the International Criminal Court over his role in inciting violence following his defeat at the polls against President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011.

As a result of General Buhari’s cancelled trip, the event, which was centered on the future of Nigeria as the pivotal national election approaches, has been canceled.

The organisation also invited the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan as speaker.

Both frontrunners in the February 14 elections were to speak on Nigeria’s future and share their perspectives on the elections.

In an earlier inquiry, 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.”

The CSIS Director of African Programme, Jennifer Cooke, confirming the cancellation of the event said it was due to “a change in his (Buhari) schedule.”

She 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.

“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.”

“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.”

General Buhari is participating in the Nigerian presidential elections for the fourth time after losing three times previously; In 2003 to President Obasanjo, 2007 to President Yar’Adua, and 2011 to President Jonathan.

Question marks

In fairness, some of us have known this all along. Under Buhari’s watch as Petroleum Minister in the late 1970s, $2.8 billion (worth billions of naira today) was missing from the NNPC account. The matter was subject to Senate investigation under the chairmanship of Olusola Saraki in 1983. But before the report could be dealt with, Buhari conveniently overthrew the Shagari government in a military coup d’état.

Vera Ifudu, an NTA newscaster, revealed that Saraki told her in an interview that the missing money was traced to Buhari’s account at Midland Bank in London. For this disclosure, Vera was summarily sacked by the NTA. However, she appealed against her dismissal in court and won. She even received a handsome financial compensation for wrongful dismissal from the NTA. Instead of clearing his name as a man of integrity, Buhari refused to appear before the Oputa Panel set up to look into the matter (among under things) by the Obasanjo administration.

Oh wow!! Liars go to hell remember that. He isn't going because of a conflict in schedule so even the event organizers had to cancel. These lies won't help. Then John Kerry is supposed to be coming to Nigeria to speak to the main presidential candidates so no need for him to go again.

For people who believe stories like these a simple search will help. Anyway I guess people tend to believe what they want to believe.

The bald Islamist cancelled because he doesn't have Nigeria's interest at heart, he is only interested in power grabbing.

Besides,do you think Buhari is intelligent enough to hold a public speech ? He will humiliate himself and APC in front of the world hence his decline

from going to US for medical checkup to this. PDP can't just stop making themselves silly.

This is very RIDICULOUS. Kindly provide the charge sheet and any specific communications with the Nigerian government regarding human rights abuses. I think none exists and this is just unnecessary kite flying about what is not true.
