Maybe you don't know that Saudi Arabia is a US ally...and if they run there, na the prince of Saudi himself go hand them over to US themselves...After all, Buhari holds no strategic advantage outside his Fulani hegemony.

You know why?

Because US knew many of them built their wealth in their economy and once visa is denied to them, their asset becomes forfeited and it becomes partially theirs.

rusher14:
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People Democratic Party  (PDP), paid a visit to members of the US Congress, who are favourably disposed to President Donald Trump.

The former vice-president, who has not visited the US in 13 years, made a surprise visit to the US on Thursday, with plans to speak at the US Chamber of Commerce on Friday.


Before his off the record meeting at the chamber, Atiku paid a visit to Chris Smith (pictured above), a member of the Republican Party, and representative for New Jersey, who is serving his 2oth term in office.



Evidently someone on Atiku's payroll.

That's the kind of president we want. A man who reaches out accross borders. An urbane leader. Cosmopolitan and enterprising.

Now buhari is antisocial, gerontologic, a religious bigot and a slowpoke. As if that's not bad enough, he's suffering from initial stages of Alzheimer's disease. Abegiiii

Rep. Chris Smith, immediate past chairman of the United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, has spoken on the postponement of Nigeria elections.

His reaction was contained in a statement he signed on Monday.

The statement posted on his website reads: “Responsibility for the delay of Nigeria’s presidential election lays squarely with President Muhammadu Buhari and those close to him.


“Actions in advance of the election — including removal of Supreme Court Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen and arson attacks on Independent National Electoral Commission offices in opposition strongholds — are undermining confidence that this election and subsequent gubernatorial elections will be free and fair.

“At a minimum, the presidential election must meet the 2015 standard, which saw a peaceful transfer of power and a statement by the then-sitting president that all bloodshed must be avoided.”

Rep. Smith also called upon the Trump Administration and the State Department to focus greater attention upon Nigeria.

In addition to being sub-Saharan Africa’s most populous nation, Nigeria is its biggest economy, and what happens in Nigeria has ramifications beyond its borders,” Smith said.

“Given the magnitude of global problems Secretary Pompeo must contend with, he should consider appointing a Special Envoy for Nigeria vested with full authority.

“The State Department must use all tools at its disposal, including visa denial and sanctioning authority, to hold accountable those who undermine democracy and foment sectarian and ethnic violence.”

Earlier, Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), expressed her concern after Presidential and National Assembly elections in Nigeria were postponed to February 23rd.

A statement she signed reads: “This delay impacts Nigeria’s 84 million registered voters who traveled from cities across Nigeria, as well as North America, Europe and Asia, for the sole purpose of making their voices heard at the ballot box.

“My hope is that this delay does not impact voter turnout or harm the credibility and legitimacy of the election, as the postponement could impact local, regional, and international observation missions.

“Nigeria’s electoral institutions played a critical role in ensuring that the 2015 elections were carried out in a transparent, fair, and peaceful manner. I hope to see that tradition continue during this 2019 election cycle.

“Nigeria can serve as an example for the region as a whole and I hope that this postponement does not negatively impact that potential.”

These f00ls will never look at the cause but be shouting at the effects.
He didn't even talk of why CJN was suspended, whether real or fabricated.
He did not reason why the election was suspended but just that the President is at fault.
If this is how America is run will u guys be here today in this powerful state?!!!!!
It's starting to show "true true" that America might habe hidden agendas about this election.

Michael Jackson said it all "They don't really care about us". The earlier we realised that the better.

Please Nigerians in the US can't you guys also create awareness on the lopsided intervention of the American government? I am sure not all of the citizens will buy into their government act.

Just like the Russians have dirt on Trump and have turned him to a puppet, the Americans too have an obvious mountain of dirt on Atiku and want him to win so they can have a puppet.

Africans have always been used by westerners to destroy themselves

What dirt did Obama have on buhari that he openly supported him in 2015.

If Buhari tries any nonsense, it won't just be visa denials alone. Atiku can still be encouraged to form a government in parallel and Nigerians will listen to him. Buharri's sit-tight mentality will simply encourage chaos, we know he enjoys bloodshed but it won't augur well for him this time. All his zombies put together can't save him when we world have decided it is over for him.

He must leave peacefully or get the 'gbabo' treatment and live in infamy for the rest of whatever is remaining of his miserable life. Since he is stubborn, the killings of hundreds of Nigerians which he orchestrated in 2011 when he lost an election will be brought the fore in ICC against him, crime and justice does not expire. The killings of Eastern youths, Shiites etc will also be brought against him in ICC.

He must be very careful, Nigeria is not his personal property. He may be greater than the people of Daura but he cannot be greater than 185 million Nigeria. Nigeria is bigger than him
