Former vice president of Nigeria,
Atiku Abubakar has debunked reports that he will be in the United States later
this month.
The reports claimed Atiku was
schdeduled to speak at a trade and investment gathering in Washington DC, with
the organizers listing his name as among the dignitaries invited to the event.
Governors Nyesom Wike and Ibrahim
Dankwambo, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and Trade and Investment
Minister, Okechukwu Elelamah, are also listed.
However, Atiku’s spokesperson
Paul Ibe, has told Premium Times, that his principal is unaware of such
invitation.
“There is no such invitation to
the former vice president.
“We are not aware of such
invitation and we do not know how they managed to put his name on their list,”
he said.
The report that the former vice
president would be visiting the U.S, saw some people draw conclusions that the
possible visa restrictions placed against him have been relaxed.
Atiku was named in a contract
scandal involving Nigerian and American officials in the mid-2000s.
If Atiku is really serious about his presidency ambition come 2019,let him visit the united state to shame those that said he can't go to the USA..We need incorruptible president in this country and the former vice president should be bold enough to convince us that he's not corrupt and can visit any country of the world.
