Nawa o! Is Atiku going to be the president of US? Please I am not apologetic to any politician, but the hunger in the land is much, we need a change please. Our president cannot even comprehend simple questions leading to unconnected answers, how do you think that such a man even reads everyday memo (s) requiring his attention/approval. Please fellow Nigerians, let us not do this to ourselves, please, Buhari is a supersonic disaster, not even fit to lead a classroom.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate has not arrived in the United States and the Nigerian embassy in Washington is not aware that he is on the way.

The Embassy said it was not yet sure if the former Vice-President would be visiting any moment soon.

A competent source at the embassy told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the embassy was yet to get official information about the former vice president.

Atiku was being rumoured to have arrived the United States on Thursday night. Some other reports said he was on his way.

The embassy source, however, said the embassy was awaiting official communication to that effect.

“Actually, we have not received any information for the embassy but we are just trying to find out whether really he is coming. That is what we are doing right now.

“They told us he’s coming tonight, today, so we are trying to find out whether he’s really coming.

“Mr (Peter) Obi, (Atiku’s running mate), he was to come last week but the event was cancelled.

“So we are still trying to see but if you get anything, please just let us know also because they said he’s coming here so that if you’re able to get any updated information, just inform us so that we can prepare vehicles to go to the airport and meet him and all that.

“For now, we have no information. If I am able to confirm anything, I will get back to you and please, if you too get any confirmation or any update, just get back to me, just call me.

“As a former Vice President, the Embassy is supposed to organise to receive him at the airport and all that, but then we have not received anything in that regards,” the source said.

NAN reports that Obi was billed to be in the U.S. last week and was scheduled to have a New jersey/New York Townhall but the event was postponed.

The PDP vice-presidential candidate is now rescheduled for the New/Jersey/New York USA Town Hall Meeting at Robert Treat Best Western Hotel, New Jersey on Monday, January 21.

The clarification from the embassy came as online reports said Atiku has either landed in the US or has taken off from Nigeria to address the US Chamber of Commerce on Friday, from 2:30pm to 4pm local time.

The Cable claimed that Atiku secretly flew out from Lagos on Wednesday night with most of his aides and associates taken unawares.

He was scheduled to be in Ogun state on Thursday morning but the event was cancelled, it said.

Atiku was said to have been issued last December with a US visa for the first time in 13 years. The visa was reportedly facilitated by his former boss, President Olusegun Obasanjo, a former foe, turned campaign endorser.

But reports said Atiku sensed the visa could be a trap by the Americans and thus asked for guarantee from the US government that he would not be arrested over a case of money laundering, for which there were reports of a sealed indictment by the US Justice Department.

In another case, former congressman William Jefferson was jailed for 13 years for accepting a bribe from an investor, Lori Mody, who was wearing a wire. Jefferson told the investor that he would need to give then Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar $500,000 “as a motivating factor” to make sure the company obtained contracts for iGate and Mody’s company in Nigeria.

But Daily Trust, quoting Atiku’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Paul Ibe debunked the report of Atiku travelling to the United States.

Ibe told Daily Trust via a telephone chat Thursday afternoon that online reports which stated that Atiku had travelled to the US were a figment of the imagination of the authors.

“You know what the social media can do. You know the social media for what they are now. It is not true. His Excellency hasn’t gone anywhere,” he said.

Dpharisee:
Buhari never stepped into America for 15 years until he became president and had diplomatic cover. Perhaps same may apply to Atiku and his going to America should not be APC main campaign point against him
Kindly tell us why Buhari wasn't allowed in USA and also tell us same about Atiku..

Thanks.

I will advise Atiku not to go to the US if they have other plans for him. Jonathan no attend 2011 debate and he won, Buhari no attend 2015 own and he won, if no one could be obligated to attend debate to rule us, then he should not try to satisfy anyone to go there and cause trouble for himself. How does he plan to also rule a country when he has case to answer, incumbent government is bad, your own self worse....

Increased fuel price from 87 to 145 naira per litre
Crashed naira value from 180naira per dollar to 365 naira per dollar
Made Nigeria the capital poverty of the world
Supervised the greatest job loss in the history of global democracy
Led and supported the killing of minority’s middle belt by Fulani herdsmen
Threatened citizens to give up their lands for ranches or get killed by herdsmen
Led the highest looting of the nations treasury among the cabal
Continues to shield criminals like maina, ganduje etc
Nepotism and tribalism has become the order of the day
Divided Nigeria more than any other government
This is the same government that certain people who call themselves humans are supporting for re-election
Obviously Nigerians have not suffered enough. The day Nigerians get to ground zero is the day they will fight for their lives
