'Nigerians won’t vote a fugitive who can't enter USA as their president' - APC tell Atiku
The All Progressives Congress has told the Peoples Democratic Party’s
presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, that Nigerians won’t vote
a fugitive in the 2019 general elections.
It challenged the former Vice President to clear himself of the alleged
travel ban placed on him by the United States of America.
Accusing the PDP of failed attempts to blackmail President Muhammadu
Buhari, the APC said it was clear that the party was no credible
opposition political party, but a gang of selfish and mercantile
politicians that will do anything to return to elective office.
The party in a statement by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary,
Yekini Nabena, on Sunday in Abuja accused Atiku and other PDP leaders of
promising to sell some national assets including the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation as payback to some foreign financiers. “The
unwillingness of PDP governors to financially support the 2019
Presidential campaign of Alh. Atiku Abubakar is already public
knowledge. Infact, information is now rife that the Dubai meeting
attended by Atiku and other PDP leaders was a last-ditch effort to raise
presidential campaign cash from foreign financiers by mortgaging key
national economic assets particularly the NNPC as payback.
“This disturbing development must be checked by relevant agencies
particularly the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, the country’s arm
of the global financial intelligence Units mandated to collect
information on suspicious or unusual financial activity suspected of
being money laundering and then share such information with relevant
anti-crime or regulatory agencies.
“Again, a challenge the PDP presidential candidate, Alh. Atiku Abubakar
must take up is coming clean on the nagging issue of his travel ban to
the United States of America following his indictment for corruption in
that country.
“To borrow the words of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, we must stop
electing rogues, hooligans and criminals into public office. Truly, we
cannot have a fugitive occupying the highest office in the country. Our
great country, Nigeria deserves better.”
