It will be recalled that the former Vice President
was reported to have been granted visa by the United States Embassy in Nigeria

The statement further reads in part: “We find it
really disgraceful that the PDP admitted there was a visa ‘ban’ on its
candidate only to turn around and blame his woes on Buhari? How does that add
up really? Has the party and overstaffed Atiku’s campaign run out of ideas?
What has Buhari got to do with it?”

Mr Adigun further said if it was true, as his
supporters claimed that he had no corruption issue(s) in the US, then he should
not have been afraid of traveling to the country. “The drama witnessed over the
weekend when Atiku reportedly travelled to the United Kingdom to secure
assurances from the US Justice Department that he would not be arrested shows
that he and his supporters are indeed deluded. They must have thought his
buying of the PDP presidential ticket automatically confers diplomatic immunity
on Atiku” he said.

Going down the memory lane, Adigun cited “when the
loquacious Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose accused the President’s
Wife, Mrs Aishat Buhari of being involved in a fictitious Halliburton scandal
and that she could not enter the United States sometimes in 2016, Mrs Buhari
did not make issues of it. She responded like every sane person should by
travelling to Washington before that year ran out. This effectively put an end
to the madness”.

He then challenged Atiku to follow this same part by
entering the US through the Mexican border and take few pictures in order to
prove that he is not a wanted criminal” The statement urged.
