We have come across credible reports that former President Olusegun Obasanjo has made moves to secure United States entry visa for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alh. Atiku Abubakar, whose candidacy he endorsed on Thursday.
It is learnt that that the former President who during and after leaving office insisted on Atiku’s unsuitability to govern Nigeria based on his knowledge of the latter’s extensive corrupt practices while he served as Vice President, is lobbying US authorities to withdraw the ban reportedly placed on Atiku from entering the United States following a 2005 $500,000 bribery scandal that involved Atiku, his fourth wife, Jennifer and former United States Congressman, William Jefferson.
Recall that the former president while in office had deployed enormous resources of the country on a global dragnet coordinated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in getting Atiku prosecuted for corrupt enrichment and money laundering.
A report by the United States Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, chaired by Senator Carl Levin reported that Atiku used offshore companies to siphon millions of dollars to his fourth wife in the United States, Jennifer while still the vice president of Nigeria between 2000 and 2008.
The report further stated that then President Bush had on the strength of his report, barred Atiku and other corrupt politically exposed persons from being issued visa to the United States, a reason for which he has been unable to travel to the United States till date.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s intervention in Alh.Abubakar Atiku’s ban from the United States of America is evidence of Obasanjo’s legendary hypocrisy and self-serving interest in national affairs.

DeleteATIKULATE 2019. Let him lobby. The same way Amina was protected by Diplomatic immunity. Even if Atikunite bomb white house today. I'm voting for him.
DeleteBlah blah blah!...
ReplyDeleteWe don’t fucking care!...
Queen don't mind them. Are they clean? But I have this feeling that God has a surprise for us in 2019 but I can't tell exactly.
DeleteStory for the gods. Even Buhari wife confirmed that Apc is corrupt and that she wouldn't support her husband's second tenure bid. Apc keep deceiving yourselves. Nigerians are wise now
ReplyDeletePlease do you have the link to when she said this?
DeleteHagahagaha help me ask orubebe the link.. I need to read it .
DeleteI don't answer ghosts. Use an ID, then I might answer you.
DeleteLMAO
DeleteBut if the ghost does give away you will jump like a monkey and collect abi?
DeleteDon’t mind the ode. Ghost indeed. You said rubbish you can’t back up and now talking about ghosts. You’re a spirit.
DeleteYou thought Abacha’s loot Was mind blowing? Wait till Atiku becomes presido!
ReplyDeleteAbacha has ruled, the stolen funds also through PTF headed by Uncle Bu, is still being recovered. After Atiku completes his tenure, then we calculate. Brainwashed Nigerians.
DeleteStella don't I just love you? Always shouting na wah oooooo as you sit on the fence. And someone will say the APC aren't jiltry. Why are they fooling themselves? So they think if truly Atiku have a criminal case in US, OBJ can influence it? This people are really senseless.
ReplyDeleteYour support for PDP is unflinching. Good for you.
DeleteAPC this, Buhari that. I’m surprised that you are busy posting comments on other posts on this blog but running away from the one that needs your response. The one on NPC rejected nominee. Or didn’t you see the call out there? Wow! False claims and information hunting you down.
DeleteWhy all of a sudden, apc have become the opposition party ? No day goes by, without a news about Atiku and pdp. Now obj don join. Apc stop telling us what we know, and start telling us what we don’t know. E.g we know the Halliburton scandal between Atiku and dick Cheney, how Cheney was tried, and Atiku tried in absentia. That’s how he was banned. But Nigeria’s do you guys also know that before buhari won, he was also banned from d USA ? Who remembers how buhari smuggled umaru dikko back to Nigeria ? Oh ok. And his Boko affiliation. Well, research the STORIES.
ReplyDeleteSo true they are becoming the opposition lately. Signs of imminent defeat looming. Atiku tuale for you. I fear who no fear you. Only you them dey fear, come talk of now you carry Peter Obi join body. In fact we don't erase the 5% bubu claimed he got last time. Shimgba this time around you no go see. We will lock the whole eastern and south south region this time around.
DeleteExactly. Once you become President, you get immunity. That’s how Buhari got his immunity.
DeleteTeejay what about the S.W?
DeleteFools. U can’t infulence the United States as a person. U think USA is like Nigeria where u lobby? Until investigations are proven otherwise, who the heck is Obasanjo to lobby and have atiku’s visa ban to be lifted? Confused old fools.
ReplyDeleteThey think we are kids or fools like them. They aren't started crying.
DeleteI think you are the one who has been taken for a fool. Why on earth would you believe everything you read online? Even writing with such agitation......
DeleteAnon 20:15. If not that you are an idiot, the source of the news is there. He put it out on behalf of the party and I gave my opinion, give yours and fuck off. I’m not for Atiku or Buhari and I’m not a politician. So if the 10k they are going to pay you is making you spew trash, better have a rethink before you embarrass yourself in public.
DeleteObj is a CIA asset. It’s something he can initiate though.
DeleteApc face your campaign Na. The fear of atiku
ReplyDeletePhew!
ReplyDeleteAPC opposition Party.. Pdp winning party.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand apc love for atiku .
It's a mistake that will haunt Tinubu toll death. APC had the chance to field him in 2015 but chose lifeless thinking he will control him. If Buhari had anointed a successor for 2019 APC would have stood a chance. But no. It's over and they know it.
DeleteMake we hear word
ReplyDeleteWhy is APC so worked up since Atiku won the PDP primaries? So now whether Atiku enters US or not is the problem we are facing now? God, what did we do to deserve this?
ReplyDeleteThat's called diplomacy.
ReplyDeleteObasanjo should not worry about the US visa please, we don't even want our president to go there so that mumu Trump will not be talking nonsense to him, our president should stay in Naija and work. Atiku is currupt we know but he's humane and thus better than an "incurrupt" heartless beast!
