Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been lambasted by Festus Keyamo (SAN), spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council;

“Atiku’s clandestine visit to America is with trappings of a fugitive sneaking into America under a special waiver diplomatic waiver. It was an anomaly for the PDP presidential hopeful to embark on such a visit without international press coverage.”

“Rather than being the highpoint of his campaign, the American visit is indeed the lowest watermark of Atiku Abubakar’s campaign. It was a political and P.R disaster.”

“Therefore, we were not surprised by his visit to the U.S. For us, this visit is really a non-event considering the issues involved in the forthcoming election.”

“However, we have bad news for those who think this is a momentous event for Atiku Abubakar: the visit was nothing but a downright catastrophe because rather than dispel the fact of indictments hanging over his head, it further confirms and reinforces those facts.”

“Whoever advised Atiku Abubakar to undertake that trip to America just destroyed his entire campaign and exposed him for who he is – a questionable character who has continued to leave huge questions over his suitability for the highest office of the land and as such cannot be trusted by the Nigerian people.”

“In all, it is very obvious now that the so-called American trip was a desperate trip for photo-ops.”
