Atiku Invited To The U.S. To Speak At Congress

During a productive phone call between former Nigerian Vice President @atiku and a senior, influential member of Congress, the Congressman extended a personal invitation for the former Vice President to visit Congress as his guest. Vice President Atiku graciously accepted but made it clear that he is currently needed at home in Nigeria, but will ensure that he visits Congress soon. That response reflects a statesman shaped by experience, guided by discipline, and grounded in the temperament required for leadership, qualities often associated with America’s most respected Presidents.

This stands in contrast to recent remarks by the current Nigerian President, H.E. Bola #Tinubu (@officialABAT). In a video released yesterday, he appears to blame this firm for his challenges, refers to his fellow statesman @atiku as an enemy, and suggests that legitimate concerns about his government’s failure to protect ordinary Nigerians are part of an effort to remove him from power. President Tinubu’s own characterization of himself as a “stubborn politician unwilling to step aside” reinforces growing concerns that he is seeking to remain in power by undemocratic and illegal means.

While former Vice President #Atiku has demonstrated that he is a leader with whom the United States Congress and President @realDonaldTrump can build a productive relationship that benefits both of our countries, the current #Nigerian President is, regrettably, showing signs of political desperation and clinging to power at all costs, even when it harms the interests and well-being of the Nigerian people.

Tinubu is under intense international scrutiny. The agenda is already being set. Trump is only looking for an excuse to make a move. Tinubu had better not grant him one. Elections are won in Nigeria through the ballots, not through the courts before election day.

Has tinubu stepped foot in the US since Trump became president of the United States ?

Can he please do that now?
Re: Atiku Invited To The U.S. To Speak At Congress by SadiqBabaSani: 8:46am On May 01
The same Jonathan Template, Atiku should go n rest, Obi must never deputize him. The lizard of Ubima Amaechi if he wants should go Nd deputize him, that's his cup of tea

The South must complete 8yrs of leadership in Aso Rock before power returns North

Atiku cannot be using Southerners against each other, in 2014 he convived with Tinubu to remove Jonathan, in 2027 he won't find any worthy Southerner to connive with.

If it's not Obi for President, let Tinubu continue

You are delusional. Do you know what the world, especially the USA, think of Atiku?

You believe Tinubu, on the world stage, is Atiku's mate merely because you assume everyone thinks like you in blind worship of Northern leaders who, given what they have made of Northern Nigeria, are globally viewed the weakest link of Nigerian leadership by far?


You are praising Kwankwaso here yet USA are naming him an individual of concern over terrorism.

You drum up messianic support for Atiku, yet believe the international community do not see him as an indolent and corrupt individual who prefers to reside outside the nation he says he loves and wants to improve.

How many US indictment against Atiku for sleaze, money laundering etc? halliburton etal?

Re: Atiku Invited To The U.S. To Speak At Congress by emkz: 11:08am On May 01
To speak about what exactly?

When will it happen?

What sound bite has Atiku ever given?

"I am not going to make members of my family rich, but my friends. Are my friends not entitled to be rich?"

"I feel very emotional about the power sector. If we had done the right thing, the power problem would have been resolved by 2005. We paid some contractors 100% upfront and they ran away with the money."

"Young politicians are inexperienced to lead."

Atiku said Jonathan messed up due to inexperience. Paying contractors 100% upfront is not inexperience by Atiku. It was intentional wastage. Atiku wants to use his experience to mismanage Nigeria.

Is Tinubu a saint in the eyes of the USA?

The opposition will continue to lobby USA to kick Tinubu out, the way he lobbied Hussein Obama to kick out GEJ and bring upon us the pestilence of ethnocentric Buharism and bigoted APCism that has wrecked the country beyond repair since 2015.

Oga you should always speak for yourself.

There's nothing like if it's not Obi then Tinubu should continue.
BAT himself removed a southerner like him and install a Northerner, he(BAT) can also be remove and replace with another Northerner.

Can you state specific aspects of the tax laws that are anti-people and anti-entrepreneurs?

If you see the taxes in some countries, you'd appreciate Nigeria the more. As for entrepreneurs, why do you think many wealthy people evade taxes in their own countries? Why are footballers dodging taxes? Why did Peter Obi hide money through Gabriella Investments as revealed by Pandora papers?

Constitutionally, a new president cannot suspend a law passed by the national assembly - he doesn't have such powers. This is not a military regime.

He can only amend it through the same parliament, that's why Tinubu made sure the NASS passed it into law. But then, this is Nigeria so anything goes.

But Tinubu is already a Southerner and is currently President. Why not just let him complete the turn of the South instead since he's doing an excellent job and protecting southern interests? That's what you're indirectly promoting, isn't it? Tinubu's closet supporter too ashamed to openly associate with his candidate. Atiku has never prevented you from exercising your voting franchise. Feel free to vote whomever you want. That's the beauty of democracy. Don't just try to use the courts to stop others from contesting or demand that anyone steps down for your candidate. That will not happen.
