The US chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has attacked Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of People’s Democratic Party (PDP, over his visit to the Washington DC in United States.

Atiku stormed the US after 13 years, and for the first time since he left office as Nigeria’s vice-president, okay reports.

The APC Chapter chairman, Adeshegun Labinjo has condemned the visit in a statement issued on Friday saying the visit does not absolve Atiku of the purported corruption allegations against him and he should still be held accountable.

Statement read “the questionable character of the individual does not evaporate because he has stepped on the soil of America

“A thief remains a thief no matter where he or she visits. Obviously, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku has every reason to have kept off the USA given the cloak of corruption he is wearing,” the statement read.

“After a long spell of noticeable absence and factual concerns about Alhaji Abubakur Atiku’s antecedents in the USA arising from his dealings with former Congressman William Jefferson of Louisiana, who was convicted and served a jail term on account of bribery resulting from a telecommunication transaction in Nigeria, Atiku is now here again in the US.

“Congressional records point to the fact that Atiku engaged in money laundering through his wife who was then resident in the USA.

“We see Atiku, who is the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of Nigeria, as a self-centered corrupt Vice President under President Obasanjo’s regime.

“Certainly, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku‘s entry and presence in the USA is a mockery of President Bush Presidential Proclamation 7750 which affirms the denial of US visa to foreign officials involved with corruption and other supporting legislations by the congress. APC-USA believes that Alhaji Abubakar Atiku should be held accountable for his involvement m money laundering.” he said.
