Why Atiku Abubakar can never step his foot on US soil again

Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar can never step his foot on United States soil again because he is wanted for money laundering and illegal transfer of funds.

Atiku who is the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate was the subject of a probe ten years ago, by a United States Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, chaired by Senator Carl Levin.

The report detailed how Atiku Abubakar while still the vice president of Nigeria between 2000 and 2008, used offshore companies to siphon millions of dollars to his fourth wife in the United States, Jennifer Douglas.

Specifically, the report said Jennifer Douglas, an American citizen, helped her husband bring over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States through wire transfers sent by offshore corporations to U.S. bank accounts.

In 2004, the then President Bush barred Atiku and other corrupt politically exposed persons from being issued visa to the United States.

The US Senate probe was motivated by US government concern about corruption in the Third World and its corrosive effects on the development of honest government, democratic principles, and the rule of law.

“It is also blamed for distorting markets, deterring investment, deepening poverty, undermining international aid efforts, and fostering crime. Some have drawn connections between corruption, failed states, and terrorism. Corruption also continues to be a massive problem. The World Bank has estimated that $1 trillion in bribes alone exchange hands worldwide each year,” the committee noted in its bulky report.

The report unveiled violations of US laws by Atiku and his fourth wife, Jennifer Douglas. It also included revelations about Siemens bribe paid into one of the accounts, and it possibly provided the basis for Atiku being barred from entering the United States, since then.

Okay. We have heard you.
If George Bush barred Atiku, Donald Trump can lift the ban.
Don't you know that everything is possible when its your turn to shine in life.
#Be Atikulated in your spirit#

it is even good if he doesnt step any foot in usa or any other country , that will make him sit down at home and face his duties as the president of nigeria , i am even praying that all nations should ban our president from visiting them till they sort out the problems in nigeria .
the dullard who has been there for almost 4 years now and has spent over 40% of his tenure touring all over the world , what has he achieved for the nation ? zero

i dont know why they want him to visit usa by force, how many times has the american president visited nigeria throughout our 58 years of independence

He will step his legs in the States when he become president

We want a President that would sit at home, not one that would be flying around bringing disgrace to us. Get Atikulated now, Op.

We are voting Atiku not to visit America. We are voting him to rule Nigeria. Has Donald Trump visit Nigeria?

Dayuuuuum


Hate for Buhari has made so many people brain dead

International relations 101.

No state or country is self sufficient, considering USA is still God's own country respected by other world powers, a beef with USA means economic beef with other world powers


Apart from Medical checks and treatments ( which is normal Jonathan did it, Atiku did it, Obasanjo did it, Yaradua did it) Buhari's travels has been about talking to countries and investors in order to build Nigeria's economy, Buhari's visit to USA brought Mark Zuckerberg, the people who benefitted from Mark's IT programs will not remain the same financially, I also heard or read (not sure Mark and / or Google are planning to bring affordable superfast internet to Nigerians

Buhari's visit also brought bill gates he also invested in It sector and gave advise on how to build human capital / investing in humans, I think he promised a research program for Nigerians

Young French president visited Nigeria, I think he took kid artist with him or launched a program

EU summit or so, Buhari talked to Hollande and Belgium dairy milk manufactures, those one promised to invest millions in Nigeria's dairy and cow business


Tens of not hundreds of dignitaries have since visited Nigeria since Buhari was sworn in and trade deals are being signed here and there all for the betterment of the nation.


So please stop the sentiments about Buhari's travels its expected


Imagine USA saying NNPC is not transparent under Atiku and stops buying our crude oil, other countries importing from us will either stop buying or look for cheaper buys, another recession and more hardship


If boko haram or any other terrorist organizations decides sto spring up, no Intel from USA, no support means we are sitting ducks ( this played out during GEJ's administration, when USA stopped supporting us boko haram claimed Caliphate)


Oh and when USA argues with UN to place embargo on a country, all countries in the world won't do business with you, be it import of raw materials or exporting goods. ( this also played out during weapons embargo on Nigeria, GEJ had to hire yahoo pastor oritsejafor's private jet to attempt to buy weapons on black market) USA caught wind of it alerted SAfrican authorities, we know how that ended


Check out their life in North Korea until fat kid Kim decided to listen and obey USA which made UN lift some sanctions on the country


You can not under estimate the influence of having good relationship with USA when it comes to running a country , so those of you saying Atiku doesn't need to go to USA to rule Nigeria effectively definitely have brain defects

He should be banned worldwide we go love am

They should restrategize!!! This won't work.....if the administration had performed well,we won't be bothered.
