Any keen follower of the press and their coverage of the 2019 general elections would have noticed by now that Daily Independent News paper have been pro-Atiku/PDP an Anti-APC.

Yesterday it was widely reported that Atiku had indeed secured a US Visa as confirmed by Sahara reporters and the likes and Popular PDP handles on Social Media (Jakson Ude and co) also confirmed the news and made mockery of the FG. Even Saraki had something to say about it and tongue lashed the FG/APC.

But what in my opinion they all failed to understand was that Atiku securing a US visa was not a guarantee that he wouldn't be arrested immediately he stepped foot in the US, which eventually made him return to Nigeria after failing to secure clearance in the UK.

The latest spin by the Atiku's camp in cohort with their media agent (Daily Independent) is to quickly release another story that Atiku was never given a US visa but only travel to the UK briefly, this is exactly what Paul Ibe, Atiku's spoke person said earlier. At least with this story out, Atiku can claim he hasn't gone to the US because he doesn't have a Visa.

Note, it was claimed a family source confirmed he had received his visa and jetted out of the country. Now Daily Independent is telling us another family source said he didn't get the Visa and only left for the Uk.

It should also be noted, the US embassy said Visa issues are confidential. If news outlet like SaharaReporters, Punch, SUN, or Thisday were the ones saying he wasn't issued the Visa in the first place, it would have been believable, not Daily Independent .

In conclusion, Atiku got the Visa, but was not guaranteed safe entry to the US.

What is the usefulness of having a Us visa and you can't travel there.. Don't you also smell something . If Atiku indeed has Us visa and has no corruption case, then he should jet out to debunks the rumour or he doesn't have money for the flight?

The longer this visa issue lingers, the more damage would be done to Atiku's candidacy as the focus would be on his corrupt and shady records.

PDP and indeed Atikulooted brains are in severe pain.

So Atiku's US visa is for decorations. What is the need of having a visa you can't use.

Atiku don hear am this week..he keep inviting problem for himself
