The Director, New Media, APC Presidential Campaign Council, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode says the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and his entourage to the United States are “internationally displaced politicians”.
Fani-Kayode stated this in a tweet on Monday.
Atiku is currently in the US for political engagements.
On the presidential candidate’s entourage are the Director General of the PDP Presidential Campaign, Governor Aminu Tambuwal, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, former Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, Senator Dino Melaye, and High Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Phrank Shuaibu, Reno Omokri, among others.
On Saturday, the presidential candidate confirmed meeting the Assistant Secretary, Bureau of African Affairs, State Department, Molly Phee on Friday.
However, sharing a photo of the PDP team, Fani-Kayode described them as “Internationally Displaced Politicians (IDP)”.
Earlier, Fani-Kayode alleged that Atiku’s team was embarrassed at the State Department.
“There was confusion when Atiku Ibn Dubai and his boyfriends arrived at the State Department after pleading for a visit.
“They were kept waiting for one hour at the outer gate before being allowed in to meet the assistant to the Secretary of State’s Personal Assistant who then told them that her boss, the P.A., was too busy to meet them.
“Amongst the first questions she asked is which country they came from, whether they got into the U.S. lawfully and legally, whether their visas were valid and whether they had been tested for aids and ebola?
“fter much begging and pleading they were allowed in for a quick meet and greet and a guided tour of the building by the assistant to the Personal Assistant of the Sec. of State after which they were asked to leave.
“The P.A. to the Secretary of State said he and his boss had no time to meet a failed and treacherous former VP who had shady ties with malevolent forces in the Middle East and who could end up being prosecuted by the FBI sometime in the future.
“Soon they will deny all this happened and ask one or more of their many garrulous and asinine spokesmen to do their job and say that the trip was a “great success”,” Fani-Kayode said.88888
