The minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, during an interactive session in Abuja on Thursday, November 29. Mohammed made it known that the government was informed of the move by the former vice president to initiate the United State to lift the visa ban imposed on him. "The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)".

He said, while the US has the decision and criteria of whom to issue visa, they should be sensitive of the timing, in order not to give the impression that Abubakar Atiku has been endorsed by the US government.
Read Full statement below....
We understand and appreciate the fact that it is the prerogative of the US to grant a visa to anyone who applies. “However, we want the US to be neutral and be wary of taking any decision that will give the impression that they are favouring or endorsing one candidate over the other “Impression must not be created that the US government is endorsing one particular candidate over the other,’’ he said. The minister recalled that for years, there has been a kind of congressional bi-partisan investigation on corruption against certain individuals which had made it difficult for Atiku to secure a US visa.

“I am sure you will all recall the Jefferson’s case and the cold 90,000 U.S. dollar in fridge. “We are not unaware that Atiku has engaged the services of some lobbyists to persuade the US to issue visa to him. “Our position is that if the former vice president is seeking the US visa we have no problem about it. “However, we want the US government not to create the impression that it is endorsing one candidate over the other,’
’ he said.

Meanwhile, It was understood that Bayo Dayo - the deputy chairman of Atiku's 42-man campaign team had assured the member of the committee of defeating the current ruling party in the forth coming election.

This is just like beating a. hold and still e expect him not to cry. Allow him lobby his way to US you never can tell if he would be arrested there for the same case you accused him of.
