Nigerians mock Buhari over Atiku’s trip to US

Muhammadu Buhari

Nigerians have attacked President Muhammadu Buhari after presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, arrived in the United States on Thursday night for the first time in 12 years.

Mr Abubakar met with US Congressman, Chris Smith, on his arrival.

He was accompanied to the meeting by Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Senator Ben Bruce and others.

Abubakar had stayed away from the US after he was allegedly said to be involved in money laundering offences.

Nigerians on Twitter have since attacked Mr Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), who had leveraged on Abubakar’s inability to travel to the US.
