ADVERT RATE

The insinuation making the rounds, that the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, traveled to the United States of America (USA) as a my aide can best be described as nonsensical.

This position was made known on Wednesday (today) by the Senate President and the Director-General, Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation, Bukola Saraki, while fielding questions on AIT’s Kakaaki programme.

It would be recalled that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), had suggested that Atiku was finally allowed to travel to the US because he had posed as an aide to Saraki.

But Saraki maintained that, “These are desperate claims. 

“When you are campaigning and you see that you have suffered a setback, just move on and don’t make a fool of yourself.

“To say the candidate travelled on my merit is not true.

“He applied for his visa, was given the visa and he was invited to attend functions.  How do you do that? 

“How do you travel as an aide? That is ridiculous! 

“They know it. It is very difficult for them to respond because they have sold a lot of propaganda and lies to Nigerians.

“I remember when we sat a lot of young people down when we started and introduced him (Atiku) as our candidate and they said they would support him because he has a good agenda for the youth and knows how to create jobs but the concern was that the government said Atiku could not travel to America and how can we have a President that cannot travel to America?

“And he (Atiku) always said it was not a problem but it was important for us to address the problem and put it behind us and because the other party was using it as propaganda, we decided to go to America and instead of them to keep quiet and move on, they say he went as my aide.”
