Atiku Didn’t Travel To US As My Aide - Saraki by GistersNG: 3:54am On Jan 24, 2019
Senate President Bukola Saraki says the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party Atiku Abubakar did not travel to the United States as his aide.

The ruling All Progressives Congress had claimed Atiku was granted an entry visa to the US because he posed as an aide to Saraki.

Speaking on AIT’s Kakaaki programme on Wednesday, Saraki, who is the Director-General, Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation, described the allegation as “ridiculous”.

He said, “These are desperate claims. When you are campaigning and you see that you have suffered a setback, just move on and don’t make a fool of yourself. To say Atiku travelled on my merit is not true.

“He applied for his visa and was given. And he was invited to attend functions (in the US). How do you do that? How do you travel as an aide? That is ridiculous! They know it. It is very difficult for them to respond because they have sold a lot of propaganda and lies to Nigerians.”

The former Kwara State governor added, “I remember when we sat a lot of young people down when we started and introduced him (Atiku) as our candidate and they said they would support him because he had a good agenda for the youths, and knew how to create jobs. But their concern was that the government said Atiku could not travel to America and they asked, ‘how can we have a President that cannot travel to America?’

“And he (Atiku) always said it was not a problem but it was important for us to address the problem and put it behind us, and because the other party was using it as propaganda, we decided to go to America, and instead of them to keep quiet and move on, they said he went as my aide.”

Saraki also lambasted the Muhammadu Buhari government for operating an opaque fuel subsidy regime.

The Senate President, who exposed subsidy fraud at the National Assembly in 2011, claimed the situation had not changed.

He admitted that corruption thrived under former President Goodluck Jonathan’s subsidy regime, but argued that the situation had worsened under the Buhari government, because they give money that was not approved by the National Assembly to marketers.

We know the truth already. That's a show of shame.

Saraki forcing what cannot be.

Atiku was listed as an entourage to Saraki. He had to be introducing him.

Because PMB have refused to lobby his way by gifting them monies any time they want they are forming abiding by the constitution.
In as much as there are faults as to how PMB is piloting the affairs of the country, his handlers are the problems.
Given that, this particular election is specifically an election between the few elites and the psychologically automated controlled masses.

“OBASANJO’S SENSE OF JUDGEMENT” – Lt.Gen Alani Akinrinade
Obasanjo asking Nigerians to vote for Atiku is an insult to our collective intelligence. With the benefit of hindsight, can anyone truly say Obasanjo’s sense of judgment in choosing leaders can be trusted? Some of us who knew him in the military and were privileged to see him operate during the civil war know if there is one thing Obasanjo is not blessed with, it is a good sense of judgment. Nigeria unnecessarily lost thousands of soldiers because of his poor judgment at the war front. But for the paucity of arms, ammunition and food, the Biafrans would have turned the tide against the Nigerian Army. Alabi Isama has done justice to this topic in his book – The tragedy of Victory - so one need not repeat.
Take a look at history. Through the clandestine manoeuvres in 1979, he foisted on Nigeria a reluctant Shehu Shagari at the expense of a cerebral Obafemi Awolowo or Nnamdi Azikwe. After his second coming, he so manipulated the electoral system such that he fraudulently installed an unhealthy Umaru Yar’Adua as president alongside another reluctant character in the person Goodluck Jonathan as the deputy. He denied every other interested member of his party while employing all sorts of machinations including threat and blackmail. Then came 2015, he told Nigerians Buhari is the best man for the job. As he has done to every presidential candidate he installed or supported, a few years down the line, he says Buhari is unfit for the job again.
What do you say to a man who once gave a damaging testimonial against an employee now coming back to tell you to employ the same employee as the CEO of your organization? What do you say to a man who once said “with what I know of Atiku, if I support him to be president of Nigeria, God will not forgive me”? What do you say of a man who once tore his party card in the open glare but is now promoting the same party? What do you say of a man who said he was going to create a “third force”, fooled some impressionable characters to buy into such idea and later left them in the lurch to return to his vomit? The bible says something about such people – “a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways”- James 1:8. Obasanjo is not a man whose judgment can be trusted. Period! I am warning Nigerians not to fall prey to Obasanjo’s antics again. Remember the saying – “fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me”. How many times have Obasanjo fooled Nigerians?
But I don’t blame him. I blame the Nigerian media who have continued to give him an undeserved attention thereby misusing their agenda setting function. The Nigerian media appear to have forgotten they are indeed the fourth estate of the realm. They are gatekeepers. They owe Nigerians the responsibility of keeping this irritable man where he belongs - the waste-bin of history. Like his daughter - Iyabo reminded him in her letter, Nigeria does not belong to him. He should allow Nigerians choose who they want and stop goading the citizenry for his own selfish interests.
Lt.General Alani Akinrinade (Rtd)
