Why U.S Should Arrest Atiku As He Visits America', APC In Diaspora

The United State’s chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says the visit of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to the United States of America doesn’t cleanse him of all the corrupt allegations leveled against him by President George Bush.

In a statement issued on Friday by the chairman, US chapter of APC, Adeshegun Labinjo, he stated that Atiku remains a questionable character regardless of the fact that he 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 Abubakur 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,” he added.

Labinjo further stated that the presidential candidate’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.” he added.
