Atiku Sought The Help Of Uk Not To Be Arrested I US But Was Turned Down by sarrki(m): 3:39am On Dec 03, 2018
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has returned to Abuja after failing to secure assurances from the US Department of Justice that he will not be arrested in the United States.

Atiku who was reported to have been granted a US visa to travel to the United States was in London on Thursday prior to his departure to the United States.

A group, Initiative To Save Democracy said that it has credible information that the PDP presidential candidate returned to Nigeria after failing to secure assurances from the US Department of Justice that he will not be arrested if he sets his foot on the soil of the United States.

TheCable had reported exclusively that the Waziri Adamawa secured a US visa and had travelled to the United Kingdom from where he will fly into the United states where he had not been able to step foot for more than 13 years.

But the group in a statement signed by its president, Akinloye James said Atiku had on Thursday travelled to the United Kingdom after securing a United States Visa from where he hopes to travel to the United States.

“His mission in the United Kingdom is to get the British Government to help him secure the assurances of the United States Department of Justice that he will not be arrested upon setting foot in US soil. But the British government is reported to have informed Abubakar that the US Department of Justice has made it clear that it cannot guarantee he will not be arrested.”

Atiku has refused to travel to the United States since the case of money laundering allegation involving him and a US congressman, Williams Jefferson came to limelight.

His counterpart in the United States, Williams Jefferson has already served jail term and made to refund part of the money traced to him for money laundering, but Atiku has since been walking free even though he has been unable to set foot in the US.

Having failed to secure the assurances of the British government and fearing that he may be arrested by the International Police (InterPol), Atiku quickly returned to Nigeria to forestall any possible arrest.

Paul Ibe, Head of the Atiku Media Office who has been speaking on behalf of the PDP presidential candidate prior to appointing a spokesman for his campaign tweeted a while ago that Atiku has since returned to Abuja.

”HE@atiku embarked on a private visit to the United Kingdom on Thursday shortly after the inauguration of his Presidential Campaign Council. He has since returned back to Abuja. #LetsGetNigeriaWorkingAgain” Ibe tweeted

His tweet counters report by TheCable that Atiku will spend sometime in the United Kingdom before traveling to the United States.

“Report that Atiku obtained US Visa and travelled to the UK may be true, but the part that he would be traveling to the US is completely false,” Mr James said.

Idiotic pigs of Buhari terrorist, will die on ATIKU matter.


Whether ATIKU travel to America or not, our mind is made up, we will vote him

Whether ATIKU is a thief, we like him that way and we will still vote him.

Btw, when traveling to America, is an achievement, and how will that bring progress to Nigeria? Jubrin of Sudan, that gallivant around the globe what good has he brought other than hardship and terror. Idiotic pigs of Buhari terrorist are insane hence they masturbate on ATIKU matter at any slightest given opportunity.

OBASANJO accompanied Taylor to Nigeria, offered him asylum, assured him of absolute safety. He later gave green light to the Interpol, simultaneously asked Taylor to run. He also told the World Police Taylor's running direction. When Taylor was caught, he called OBJ name 3 times, shook his and said "This man is a wicked man".
OBJ will tell a thief to go and steal and also tell the Police to go and catch the thief!!!!!!

You are all reading news.

Information on my desk had it that Atiku never applied for Usa visa. The UK trip is also not real just am imagination of some people.

Atiku begins his campaign today in Sokoto.

Us trip not certain for now cos he (Atiku) knows the consequence.

Though he is still working under G to visits Usa

Pls I need a president who can't travel to the UK or the US or any country outside the African continent so that they can develop our country. I don't know when travelling to the US is a criteria to become a Nigerian president.

We know what the one that has spent more time in London than Nigeria has already done to our economy and infrastructures.
Please stop this campaign of character assassination and focus on what you have done in the past 3 years. If you don't have anything to show, please get ready to pack your bags to where you belong.
I don't know why we see the US as pace setters when they can't even solve their own problems. Let's face our election and forget US Visa or travels.

It's a shame how they force whoever they like on us and we just quietly accept. We have around 200 million people in this country, 2 major political parties, one party can only force a religious/ethnic bigot on us, while the other forces an international fugitive on us. Yet we'll accept and won't even consider a minority party with a sane option. There has to be sumthn wrong with the average Nigerian.

Listen to yourself, that's the typical, senseless Nigerian reasoning. So because you don't want a leader that spends more time travelling around, you'd rather have one that has committed international crimes?

What we need is a leader that won't waste time travelling around, not one that can't because he's a fugitive that might get arrested if he does. Have you heard the term "international diplomacy" before? Every leader needs that quality.

Nigerians are just senseless I swear. We always think we are wise, but our sense is only good for cheating each other and moving closer to destruction.

That's is our problem. Look at your smart self that can qualify Nigerians. Whenever someone has a a different opinion from yours you resolve to name calling (Nigerians this, Nigerians that .......). Sometimes I wonder how you guys look at the US from your myopic lenses, I bet you see them as heaven on earth. The man wants to be a president of Nigeria and not of the Hnited states. Dick Cheney was also accused but guess what happened, he paid a fine. Of course he is your white god!! Afterall Atiku must be treated differently. Only African leaders must be prosecuted!!

I don't care what the United states think about him. I'm only bothered about what Nigerians think. If he is corrupt let Buhari investigate him afterall he has the EFCC, ICPC and the police, he doesn't need the United states to help him.
Please spare me the gospel of international crime afterall the supposed crime was committed in Nigeria and not in the United states.

NB: Make your point without insults. We are not fighting but discussing!!!
