The US chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has kicked against the visit of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

The party said the visit does not absolve Atiku of the purported corruption allegations against him and he should still be held accountable.

Atiku, who is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), visited the US after 13 years, and for the first time since he left office as Nigeria’s vice-president.

In a statement issued by Adeshegun Labinjo, chairman, US chapter of APC, the party said even though it does not object to Atiku’s entry into the US, “the questionable character of the individual does not evaporate because he has 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,” the statement read.

“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.

“Congressional records point to the fact that Atiku engaged in money laundering through his wife who was then resident in the USA.

“We see Atiku, who is the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of Nigeria, as a self-centered corrupt Vice President under President Obasanjo’s regime.

“Certainly, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku‘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 Alhajl Abubakar Atiku should be held accountable for his involvement m money laundering.”

Atiku is billed to meet with the US Chamber of Commerce on Friday.

Cluless government.. Calling someone thief and you say you are fighting corruption, yet you have no evidence to nail him and you are calling him thief..

The thief you cannot say what he stole, isn't that stupidity on your part APC?

He is innocent until proven guilty..

Has anyone seen sarrki because i borrowed him sniper last night.

What a useless political group called APC?

See painment.. One would think dat dis ppl would have some form of shame and dignity left and jus shut d hell up... U ppl dared him and he has gone to d US... It's funny how according to zonBs only d US have evidence of Atiku's thievery which he supposedly carried out in Nigeria. Dis govt we know would not have hesitated to flood d social media with evidence if it indeed had any against Atiku

SluttanSlayer abeg furnish APC US Chapter with one carton of Sniper to ease their pain permanently

Shame on APC. Now that he has traveled to America,you all can go commit suicide. Bunch of unrepentant hypocrites.

ATIKU/OBI all the way......

It takes one to know one, only a thief knows a thief ... Silly mofos !

And for the record, All your sins are forgiven once in APC - Oshiomole Chapter 4 vs 19

See painment.Only in a party/government of santimonious hypocrites like the APC is wherein their own thieves are not thieves simply because they have been cleanse by the witchcraft broom of the coven.

The APC & US government have repeatedly said they don't have any criminal evidence against Atiku but all APC corrupt & indicted fellas are always shielded from investigation let alone prosecution.

Meanwhile;

The All Progressive Congress (APC) has said once those who looted the nation’s treasury join its fold, all their sins will be forgiven.

The national chairman of the ruling party, Adams Oshiomhole, stated this on Thursday at the presidential campaign rally held in Benin, the Edo State capital.

.......Once you join the APC, all your sins are forgiven,” the top APC official said.

PDP has given BMC and chronic Zombies assignment for the weekend.

I am sure they are going to spend all weekend looking for how to spin Atiku's visit to US.

This most be a difficult one since Lia Mohammed is yet to come up with something.

It is sad that Atiku could only visit during the government shutdown in the US. Very sad....the man has been reduced to a desperado.

APC are just barraging.

An accused is presumed guilty until when convicted by a competent court of law.However the reverse is the case with the APC except if you crossover to their criminal side of the divide.

They better be prepared because an Atiku presidency is gonna deal with all these nonsense. Meanwhile this was the APC warped & shameless idea of when Atiku was not a "thief";

They dunno what else to say because Atiku gave them a very biiigggg surprise
