Atiku Abubakar. |
Aliyu Mustapha: What
has been in the news for many years has come to past right now I’m together
with the former Vice President of Nigeria and the Presidential flag bearer of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after he had just returned from some
interactive session with some high ranking Congress Men and Women. Your
excellency, now that you have visited Washington D.C, does it have to do with
those who said you cannot come to the United State of America or the visit is
for what purpose?
AA: Aliyu I told you before that
my coming to the United State is in the hands of Americans if they decided to
issue a Visa to me I will definitely come and if they refused to give me I
cannot come. And now they have issued it to me and I am here. I’m having some
positive discussions with some of the officials. I was in the Congress
and I had discussions with some high ranking Congress men and Women about
Nigeria and how Nigeria intends to improve her relationship with the United
States of America.
Aliyu Mustapha: After
visiting the Congress, do you intend to meet with some other people?
AA: Yes, by tomorrow (Friday) I
will go to the State Department in order to have vital discussions with some of
their officials.
Aliyu Mustapha: Will
you also meet with the members of the United State Chamber of Commerce?
AA: Yes, I will meet them tomorrow (Friday) by the Grace of God.
Aliyu Mustapha: Who
invited you to the United State?
AA: I was invited by many organizations
in the United States.
Aliyu Mustapha: Before
some people are saying that you cannot come to the United States of America but
now you are here people will stop doubting.
AA: The whole thing is about
misinformation.
Aliyu Mustapha: What
do you mean by misinformation?
AA: Because for a very long time
they have been lying to them (Nigerians) and they agreed; I tried to explain to
them but they refused to listen. And I hope now people are going to understand.
Aliyu Mustapha: Your
coming to America has shown that you are going to have some interactions with
some top officials of the United State are they in support of your candidacy?
AA: Yes.
Aliyu Mustapha: Are
you convinced that the United States Government are in support of your
candidacy?
AA: There is no doubt because the
United State is ready to support any country that is practicing democracy.
Aliyu Mustapha: People
know you as a businessman; do you think that your business background and
experience will influence the United States Government to support you?
AA: One good thing is that
Nigeria is a country that is practicing democracy and everyone knows that
we have played a significant role and have done a lot to sustain democratic
governance in Nigeria and it is very important.
Aliyu Mustapha: Thank
you very much.
AA: It is my Pleasure.
