Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), arrived Abuja this morning after a break in Dubai and was subjected to the "indignity" of being searched by officials at the airport.

It's not quite clear what the problem is here.  How did he know the search was "aimed at intimidating" him and staff?  Is it because he is usually waved through when he comes into Nigeria?

Many Nigerian travellers do not enjoy that "luxury" at airports.  They are subjected to intrusive searches by all manner of uniformed officials from Customs to drug agency officers.  Those searches are usually a guise for shaking down passengers.  If you pay them, you don't have to suffer that inconvenience.

Incidentally, Atiku allegedly made a large slice of his billions from his days as a Customs officer, rising to deputy head before retiring.  He was also implicated in a major scandal involving waving a VIP through without a search in the 1980s.

Search Atiku, search Peter Obi, they have nothing to hide!

It's all well and good. It's also goes a long way to prove that they are humble and law abiding

Everyone knows that it's the handiwork of that fake Buhari.

You can now now imagine if he held the meeting here in Nigeria

They should just be careful so that they don't plant anything in them! Cause Buhari is now very desperate!

Abeg let's get Nigeria working again!
