Watch these devils and criminals in the evil party change the goal post soon,now they are aware atiku is about getting the visa they built their campaigns on.
Next APC campaign stance would be:'if Atiku is not corrupt and claims he wasn't indicted for fraud in the US,he should pay a visit to Jefferson in prison'.

The Director, Strategic Communications, President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), says the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, may soon be given a United States visa because he is a candidate for the Presidency.

Keyamo said this in a statement on Sunday while reacting to allegations levelled against his principal by Atiku’s campaign team.

He said US Congress in a report titled, ‘Keeping foreign corruption out of the US’, featured Atiku as one of the four notorious cases of money laundering in the world!

The senior advocate said, “Atiku’s co-conspirators, Williams Jefferson and Siemens in the bribery deal were convicted and Jefferson went to jail. By running for President of Nigeria, Atiku intends to get some immunity from prosecution.

“Already he is hoping to obtain a visa to visit the US, as a guest of the State Department, a concession that the US will grant to a Presidential candidate of Africa’s biggest nation.”

He said the congress report noted that Jennifer Douglas Abubakar, a US citizen, who is the fourth wife of Atiku, from 2000 to 2008, helped her husband bring over $40m in suspect funds into the US including at least $1.7m in bribe payments from Siemens AG, a German corporation, and over $38m from little known offshore corporations.

Keyamo said rather than answer to the allegations, Atiku a few days ago, called President Muhammadu Buhari over certain allegations of “corrupt practices” which the President allegedly condones in his government.

The senior advocate said the US Department of Justice’s claim that Atiku was not under investigation did not exonerate the former Vice-President.

He added, “How do we as a nation end up with anyone with this sordid record locally and internationally? We have heard the lame defence that the US Justice Department said it has no pending case against Atiku Abubakar. That is only a defence for the ignorant ones.

“In the US, there are indictments the Justice Department can confirm to the world. But there is another category of indictments known as sealed indictments that the Justice Department cannot confirm to anyone. These indictments are sealed under the orders of a Judge.

“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has a sealed indictment waiting for him in the US. The day he visits the US, not as a candidate in an election, he will face charges.”

I'm not really a fan of Atiku but this Keyamo man is just annoying. I wonder how he ended up a SAN. I'm yet to see a high profile case he won. The few his rabble rousing attracted to him, he screwed up. He certainly is not in the league of the Rotimi Williams, Afe Babalola, Agbakoba etc..
Since when has being a candidate in an election conferred immunity on anyone?

How APC thinks that we are all foolish people in this country amazes me. How Keyamo does a lame image laundering for this govt by open lying and distortion of narratives has become a source of concern to any sane mind. They built all their campaign manifesto on d shaky foundation of Atiku inability to secure a US visa and that blackmail is about being pulled off their very eyes and suddenly they want to change d goal post. Now Atiku is about visiting d US as they v all urged him and d new claim is cos he is standing election not even cos he is already a President of a country that ought to be enjoying immunity. Honestly, if Atiku goes to US as a candidate u can be sure truly d US is in support of a regime change and defeat of APC at d polls is just imminent.
This is why an election campaign should be positive - built on achievements in office, not negative - built on the assassination of an opponent's character.

It is not about getting a visa to the USA but but being safe from prosecution; the US is not like Nigeria where government may interfere and stall or interfere with cases with relative ease; there they have strongly backed institutions and practice true separation of power; even the president, Donald Trump, cannot save him should the justice dept wish to prosecute him.
OK. Let's see what happens to Atiku as he visits the US. Let's stop drinking panadol for another man's headache. If the ruling party have made slight significant achievements, I don't think they would lose sleep over Atiku's visit or otherwise to the US. Thank you.

you are just as confused as apc urself, you discredit america as a criteria and @ the end of your epistle you made US the determinant of presidential winner.
FIY,, america choice is irrelevant pdp or apc but its so glaring even to the blind america can never support atiku ..if they will wonnt be 1month to election, back in 2015 ask those old enough to know ... buhari was invited both in england & US ...he started addressing nigerians from foreign channels even before he was elected,even obama reckoned with buhari openly
on the contrary atiku as been going round,even had to beg OBJ just to lobby is way ... pdp/ atiku @ different times boasted of securing US visa, decieving themselves nigerians are no longer interested it as only proven truly america as a case against atiku.
of all the presidential candidate in nigeria as @ 31/18 atiku is the only candidate with properties in america + a wife but can not travel to US .. atiku can only get diplomacy.

Keyamo should bring up tje electoral promises made in 2015 aand show us which of them, they have achieved.

Can you just imagine! In a country where a lot of people hardly feed, where a lot of graduates do not have good jobs, where people's lives are being wasted by Boko Haram and armed bandits, where educational standard is falling, where most roads are not in good motorable condition leading to avoidable accidents, where our doctors and other technocrats are running abroad, the only thing a serious minded government concentrates its campaign on is the visit of a political opponent to a foreign land! How is that supposed to solve our teething problems as a nation?

Sir, don't you think that if the current government headed and populated by 'holy politicians' has been able to improve the economy, provide infrastructure, create jobs, defeat or curb Boko Haram, protect the lives of citizens, reached out to and fairly treated 'enemy regions', display impartiality in the fight against corruption, stopped trying to take Nigerians for granted by constantly blaming the past governments etc, there would be no need to split hairs over the visit or otherwise of a 'criminal' to the US. People would simply overwhelming vote for the incumbent 'saints' to continue based on their performance.

WTF

When has going to the US become a criteria for good governance in any part of the world??

Yes we see them as the world power and a great associate but come on, Atiku or who so ever is the number one citizen is not suppose to leave his home land, that's why he has ministers etc who could go out then come back with reports.

What soever would make a president leave his country should be made available in his own country.

Re: Why US May Give Atiku Visa – Keyamo by tolujohnso: 9:51am On Dec 31, 2018
My reflection over Atiku's alleged US case gave me some serious concern last week. Recall that PMB made move to strengthen trade ties with China (especially Naira-Yuan swap deal) and America immediately followed up with a meeting with PMB in Abuja after return from China. The deal has seen some progress in terms of trade but the currency swap which is supposed to be the big deal hasn't seen light of d day.
The questions here are:
> Is America unhappy with PMB cos of Naira Yuan swap?
> Is America worried PMB may continue d pursuit in his 2nd tenure?
> Does America need a stooge to help actualize her continued economic grip and political control over Nigeria?
> Has Atiku become US more suitable candidate cos of his alleged pending case in US?
> is America planning to hold Atiku presidency to ransom through blackmail and promise to be a free man in US if he works for America?
> Is Atiku under pressure to get off US hook?
> could be a major reason he earnestly wants Nigerian presidency?
> Why are other political looters happy to work for Atiku? Is it for d love of Nigeria?
Hmmm, STOP THINK ACT!

Pal,
The issue is not that Atiku is not corrupt, he is and he has never categorically denied it! there is enough evidence of it!!!

The real issue is that Buhari's government is no different, Buhari is a skilled corruption practitioner, he just uses people like mammam Daura and Abba Kyari to do it for hm.

The priority of the nation is security, Atiku has a better chance of defeating Fulani Herdsmen and Boko haram than the current fulani herdsman president.

As much as the nation hates Atiku, the stupidity of Nigerians for allowing two idiots as the only candidates in a big nation like this means we have to settle for the lesser evil - Atiku is a far better option than Buhari!

Apc/keyamo are just indicting themselves, they claims Atiku can not visit the US,now the story is that he will allow to visit only as a candidate for an elections!,the same people were urging the US not to issue a visa to Atiku as that would amount to a support!,keyamo claims Atiku is under sealed indictment that can not be disclose to anyone but he kayemo was informed!,to those who are benefitting from the evils of Apc/buhari they can continue to shout sai baba but the those that truly believe in the unity, peace n progress of Nigeria will surely send the dullard bigot n his band of evil party packing next year, keyamo can go on ranting n fooling himself like a stray dog.
