Former Nigerian vice president and the People's Democratic Party's presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar may not visit the United States any time soon.

“What will I even go to do in America," Abubakar said during an interview with the Hausa service of the Voice of America.

The opposition candidate is being dogged by allegations of corruption.


He and his fourth wife Jennifer Douglas, an American citizen, were allegedly indicted in 2010in a 328-page American Senate committee report for transferring over $40 million "suspect funds" to America from offshore accounts between 2002 and 2008.

Abubakar served as Nigerian vice president between 199 and 2007.

"Ms Douglas helped her husband bring over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States, including at least $1.7 million in bribe payments from Siemens AG, a German corporation, and over $38 million from little known offshore corporations, primarily LetsGo Ltd. Inc., Guernsey Trust Company Nigeria Ltd., and Sima Holding Ltd," the Carl Levin-led Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation said on page 173 of its report.

Although Abubakar has not visited the United States since he was indicted, he has maintained that he did not wrong.

He insisted he can be Nigerian president without visiting America, one of Nigeria's most important allies.

In November, the Director General of the Atiku campaign organisation, Gbenga Daniel, says officials of the United States have hinted that Abubakar would get a U.S. visa if he applies for one.

"I can also confirm to you that in last few days that there have been signals from the American officials that he (Atiku) should indeed come forward so he can be granted a visa. So between you and I, all the issues are perception,” Daniel said in an interview on Channels Television programme, Politics Today.

Till date, U.S. Embassy in Nigeria and the State Department in Washington have declined to clarify issues around Abubakar’s visa, despite numerous media enquiries.

Lol , una wan send this thief on a journey of no return sha....

Atiku OLEEEEEEE

Let us remind Alhaji Atiku Abubakar that he is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the failed system in tackling corruption that was in place before President Muhammadu Buhari took over in 2015. We know he is aware of this, hence his latest diatribe against President Muhammadu Buhari amounts to nothing but disgusting grandstanding and an attempt to mock the system.

If the system in Nigeria was indeed working, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar would not have acquired substantial shares in INTELS in clear conflict of his duties as a Customs Officer whilst in office. Those shares would have belonged to the Nigerian people by now.

If the system in Nigeria was indeed working, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar would not have run a monopolistic company called INTELS all these years, ripping off the Nigerian people and the Nigerian State before Muhammadu Buhari came and broke that monopoly.

If the system was working, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar would have been prosecuted and jailed for various acts of corruption and abuse of office after he left office as Vice President, some of which are:

(a) For himself and his boss, President Olusegun Obasanjo, granting themselves licenses to build universities as President and Vice President whilst in office in clear breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers. Those Universities would have been probed, seized and transferred to the Nigeria State and the Nigerian people by now.

(b) Laundering slush funds to the United States of America using phony companies, part of which was used to fund his present American University in Adamawa State through which he is also extorting Nigerians through exorbitant fees. It is public knowledge that this indictment is contained in a US Congressional Report that has led to the prosecution and conviction of his accomplices in the US, which are William Jefferson and Siemens. They were convicted under a system that works, whilst he has been walking free in Nigeria and even aspiring to the highest office in the land. It is also public knowledge that his ban from entering the United States was as a result of these indictments.

(c) His indictment and recommendation for prosecution by the Report of the EFCC over the PTDF scandal whilst he was Vice President.

We have also read with keen interest the case filed against Alhaji Atiku Abubakar by some public spirited Nigerians alleging that he never paid his Personal Income Taxes as at when due, yet he wants to ‘get Nigeria working again’. In this regard, we are also challenging Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to publicly display his Personal Income Tax receipts for the 3 years preceding 2018 to show that he did not just run to FIRS in 2018 to pay his backlog of Personal Income Taxes.

To Mr meme above, this is the complete meme, STOP hiding it!
BUSTED!!!

BEFORE you attack pls show us prove that he was invited to us by any court or institution and refused to honor it. he has been applying for visa since they did not give him , for reasons best known to them. how is that his fault? if he is guilty why not try him here must we wait for us to do it for us? ok since its what you guys want let buhari also visit white house too lets see

His Problem

Next

Hmmmm

You will go and do whatever you went to do there when you bought house and married a wife there....

God saved Atiku, APC had planned a bait for him...

Thank God he didnt fall for it..

i dont want him as president but i dont want him to languish in an american cell for life ....

How would it be heard that an ex VP of our great nation is bending down to pick up soap

visiting america is not a standard for good governance

CilicMarin:
A certified crook can only rule in Biafra Republic..

biafrans are still better off than other tribes in Nigeria.

the standard of life we live in your states can only be a dream to you and your likes

Sometimes i regret sharing same country with this Apc supporters. Someone is contesting to become the president of the federal epublic of Nigeria, and they are asking him to go to USA.

For what exactly, is he contesting for US number one seat? How many of the US presidents (whether aspirant or aspiranted oo) has visited Nigeria. Is us now recolonising Nigeria?

If Atiku is rotten and Buhari with his Efcc can not do the needful rather waiting for Usa to do their job for them. It is anotjer reason to boot them out.


To the zonal chairman of ZB below me "ONLY GOD CAN HELP YOU NOW".

With all these types of criminally minded youths, the future is blank.
Thanking God we still have some sane minded youths in the nation apart from crooks.
To the NEXT LEVEL we sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians go....
SAI BABA
Say NO to LIARS and THIEVES.....

Come to think of it,what is atiku supposed to go and do in the u.s.a,can we just stop reasoning like slaves for once,is the u.s.a heaven?

we need experienced president DT will improve d economy not d one like buhari junketing from one country to another and giving us hardship and hunger
