PoliticsNGR has been furnished with a statement from the the United States Chapter of the All progressives Congress, APC on the recent trip of PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar to America.
Below is the statement signed by the National Chairman of APC US chapter, Prof. Adeshegun Labinjo;
“Today,
APC-USA Chapter has learnt that the former Vice President of Nigeria,
Alhaji Abubakar Atiku is here in America. APC-USA does not object to
Atiku or any Nigerian gaining entry into USA, once he or she meets the
entry visa requirements to this great country.
However, the
questionable character of the individual does not evaporate because he
has stepped on the soil of America. A thief remains a thief no matter
where he or she visits. Obviously Alhaji Abubakar Atiku has every reason
to have kept off the USA given the cloak of corruption he is wearing.
After a long spell of noticeable absence and factual concerns about
Alhaji Abubakar Atiku’s antecedents in the USA, arising from his
dealings with former Congressman William Jefferson of Louisiana, who was
convicted and served a jail term, on account of bribery resulting from a
telecommunication transaction in Nigeria, Atiku is now here again in
the US. Congressional records point to the fact that Atiku engaged in
money laundering through his wife who was then resident in the USA.
We
see Atiku, who is the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) of Nigeria, as a self-centered corrupt Vice
President under President Obasanjo’s regime. Certainly Alhaji Abubakar
Atiku’s entry and presence in the USA is a mockery of President Bush
Presidential Proclamation 7750 which affirms the denial of US visa to
foreign officials involved with corruption and other supporting
legislations by the congress. APC-USA believes that Alhaji Abubakar
Atiku should be held accountable for his involvement in money
laundering.”
