Former Vice President of Nigeria and Presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar have finally been issued a visa to the United States of America.
A family member of the PDP presidential aspirant disclosed to TheCable that Atiku have left Nigeria to the UK and then to the US.
TheCable also reports that former president Olusegun Obasanjo who was Atiku’s Boss played a “critical” role in getting the American government to issue the visa to his former deputy with whom he was estranged for almost 15 years.
It will be recalled that Atiku was accused of demanding a bribe of $500,000 to facilitate the award of contracts to two American telecommunication firms in Nigeria.
Atiku’s opponents in politics have always used his absence from the US for the past 13years to consistently taunt him.
Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed had in Thursday warned the US to be careful in granting visa to Atiku.
