Three decades after his government sponsored the failed abduction and illegal repatriation of the erstwhile Minister of Transport Alhaji Umaru Dikko via a cargo crate, General Muhammadu Buhari’s proposed attempt to return to the United Kingdom as part of his global campaign circuit, received a major setback recently as most major UK and Europe based institutions have turned down his request for visitation.

Investigations indicate that the Buhari Campaign team has received sour reception from some institutions, Government and non-government organizations.
A source in the know revealed that a consultant working for the campaign approached the Chatam House, select members of the House of Commons, members of the EU Parliament, as well as top advocacy groups, policy makers and public opinion molders.

Further investigation indicates that the rejection is not unconnected with the poor human rights record of General Muhammadu Buhari during his reign as military head of state of Nigeria. The APC’s Presidential candidate’s perceived link with extremist Islamic organizations as well as his propensity to instigate electoral violence did not help his case.

The U.K Foreign Office’s most recent annual report on human rights and democracy said the country will reject any ties with known despots and human rights violators.
It condemned “The use of unlawful and arbitrary measures to target human rights defenders including enforced disappearance; house arrest; restrictions on freedom of movement, communication and association; extrajudicial detention and harassment of family members by both past and current leaders across the globe”.

However it was gathered that top APC wigs are puling all strings to seek alternative platform for the ex-military dictator. But some human rights groups are mulling the idea of instituting process that could lead to the arrest of the former dictator to answer charges on the botched extra-judicial deportation of the late Umaru Dikko.
Buhari could be charged under the popular United Kingdom Common law which carries a maximum life sentence for ordering the kidnap and barbaric deportation of Dikko a move which sparked a major diplomatic row between Nigeria and the UK.

Lawyers also point out that that the botched kidnap also contravened the British Aviation Security Act of 1982. It would be recalled that plane designated to transport Dikko who was drugged by his abductors was waiting in the tarmac for its `consignment’ before eagle eyed UK custom officials intervened.
The planned trip coming at a time The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, David Cameron is facing severe criticism for his perceived watering down of Britain’s “ethical” foreign policy towards human rights violators and known despots.

Eleanor Byrne-Rosengren, director of the campaign group Free Tibet, said recently on dealing with dictators, “Mr Cameron needs to restore our pride”.
“Mr Cameron stands up for human rights in Sri Lanka and the right of self-determination in the Falklands. He http://chinedusamuel..com/2015/01/uk-denied-access-apc-campaign.html

Lie from PDP camp again...

Buhari was in UK last year on different occasions. Buhari addressed the House of Common last year. He was invited to speak at an occasion in Manchester too.

It is hilarious and interesting to see how PDP keeps digging up everything "exhumable" in the name of calumny against the preferred one.

Why don't you wake up to the fact that the tide has #changed and it's a forgone conclusion by majority of Nigerians.

Now, your statement makes no sense but it's because your blinded with hate. You're worse than the OP


How does a cheap blogger trying to get traffic by posting sensitive materi becomes a PDP representative?

Same way the UK thought Nigeria how to handle corrupt Nigerian politicians by lucking them up, Deporting and denying visas to top Nigerian pastors.... and all kinds of Nigerian untouchables
That is the same way they are indirectly telling Nigeria Buhari is the wrong choice based on human rights record..
will the UK ever get a PM that tried to bundle someone out of a foreign country? No flipping way!

jeffizy:

This is Nigeria, we are all politicians. Tell me, are you not routing for a particular party?

If you don't mind, why not answer my question first
