Atiku Is In America But Will They Allow Him Come Back? by TheAnakin(m): 2:32am On Jan 18, 2019
Former Vice President of Nigeria and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has arrived Washington DC on a visit to the United States. The PDP presidential candidate arrived at 20.20 hours (14.20 hours Washington DC time).

Atiku was put on the list of Specially Designated Nationals (The OFAC SDN) by the United States government , a list that was made up of corrupt politicians, terrorist financiers, mafia lords and similar miscreants around the world as a result of the money he stole while in power.

A Nigerian and American officials were accused by the F.B.I for running a bribery racket in the award of a broadband project with the aim of expanding Internet coverage in Nigeria in the mid-2000s and Atiku Abubakar was said to have received kickbacks for his role in helping iGate which is an American firm, to secure the contract and as at that time, American politician, Williams Jefferson, a member of the U.S. Congress was identified as a political associate of Atiku Abubakar with whom the Nigerian leader allegedly connived to inflate the contract and get illicit payouts for seeing it through.

Reports showed that the infamous $100,000 cash which was found in Mr. Jefferson’s refrigerator was intended as parts of the bribes to be paid out to Atiku Abubakar

In 2004,President Bush who was in power barred Atiku and other corrupt politically exposed persons(PEP) from being issued visa to the United States. This 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.
Although Atiku was not the only foreign Politically Exposed Person(PEP) probed by the committee.He had company in Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, now the 48-year-old son of Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mbasogo, the President of Equatorial Guinea (EG), late President of Gabon, Omar Bongo and three Angolan PEP accounts, involving an Angolan arms dealer, an Angolan government official, and a small Angolan private bank.
The report showed violations of the US laws by Atiku and his fourth wife, Jennifer Douglas. It also included revelations about Siemens bribe paid into one of the accounts, and also possibly provided the basis for Atiku being barred from entering the United States, since then.

I know the only way atiku can enter the u.s as a criminal would be if he has already made deals with the u.s to sell Nigeria's interest.
So the u.s would suspend her enforcement of his detention. Pending the result of the elections.

Either way atiku is not good for Nigeria.

Zombies will be insanty by morning sha. And there will be too many wailers by morning too.

My advice is, vote wisely if you must vote.

For me, I am gonna be chilling in my house with my TV on to see the results.

I don't care who wins cos both candidates are the came coin or different sides.

Both North
Both Fulani
Both ill Educated
Both technically inept
Both old/out of touch with reality
Both in power before but no results
Both full of bad conducts
Both I cannot trust with my PVC.

I only use my PVC for online registrations and verification purposes. (For the fiverr folks)

I know one thing for sure, Atiku is up to no good. Sooner or later, we'll get to know whatever deal he made to lift that ban. He's nothing but a corrupt man with very corrupt ways, making people believe he is better than that clueless one in the villa who has run out of ideas.
Nigeria is in the middle of a rock and a hard place, which ever we fall to, only God will heal us after we land.

Really.
Okay.
1. It is documented fact that George bush regime, put atifiku on a list as a criminal for some illegal deals he made, relating to bribe of a senator and other stuff.(public records if you want to check)

2. The list/ status ensure that atifiku would never get a visa to the u.s.

3. Atifiku suddenly goes to the u.s WHILST lobbying for a presidential ticket.

4.the list is not enforced nor retracted. ( if retracted there would be reason for this . again public records)

Its obvious a deal allowing atifiku to lobby in the u.s was done, and u.s President trump would is definitely the dirty kind of man who would do this. And due to his strong position during this deal, atifiku would have offered him a deal of a life time. I can imagine who would pay the price of such a deal would be simple. Nigerians. Because if our President is willing to sell us out for a visa, I doubt he really cares about u.s living of dying, its all just business to him.

You need help bro.
You and cohort believed it's impossible for this man to go to the USA. Now he is there and you say there's something behind he is going to give to Emerica. Even if the US comes out to debunk this you and co will still come up with something.

For once, keep an open mild and your health will improve. No unnecessary stress. It's a promise.

If Atiku is wanted in the US, it is simple, the Nigerian government should report him. The US prosecuted its own former vice president. Who is Atiku to go free if he has questions to answer.

Finally, an allegation is only what is it is: an allegation. Until there's proof, chilax and help your BP. If there's something of interest the US has with him, it will show. So, if it so suits you, pray that he doesn't finish there and come back free. If he does, u guys should swallow your pride abi mumuness. Sorry.

Atiku was put on the list of Specially Designated Nationals (The OFAC SDN) by the United States government , a list that was made up of corrupt politicians, terrorist financiers, mafia lords and similar miscreants around the world as a result of the money he stole while in power.

A Nigerian and American officials were accused by the F.B.I for running a bribery racket in the award of a broadband project with the aim of expanding Internet coverage in Nigeria in the mid-2000s and Atiku Abubakar was said to have received kickbacks for his role in helping iGate which is an American firm, to secure the contract and as at that time, American politician, Williams Jefferson, a member of the U.S. Congress was identified as a political associate of Atiku Abubakar with whom the Nigerian leader allegedly connived to inflate the contract and get illicit payouts for seeing it through.

Reports showed that the infamous $100,000 cash which was found in Mr. Jefferson’s refrigerator was intended as parts of the bribes to be paid out to Atiku Abubakar

In 2004,President Bush who was in power barred Atiku and other corrupt politically exposed persons(PEP) from being issued visa to the United States. This 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.
Although Atiku was not the only foreign Politically Exposed Person(PEP) probed by the committee.He had company in Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, now the 48-year-old son of Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mbasogo, the President of Equatorial Guinea (EG), late President of Gabon, Omar Bongo and three Angolan PEP accounts, involving an Angolan arms dealer, an Angolan government official, and a small Angolan private bank.
The report showed violations of the US laws by Atiku and his fourth wife, Jennifer Douglas. It also included revelations about Siemens bribe paid into one of the accounts, and also possibly provided the basis for Atiku being barred from entering the United States, since then.
