Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential
Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party has described the thorough search by
security agents on him at the Nnamdi Azikiwe international Airport earlier
today as intimidating.
The PDP Presidential candidate for 2019 general election is back to
Nigeria for the
first time after becoming the flag bearer of the leading opposition party.
The Presidential candidate has alleged that he was subjected to a
thorough search by security agents on his arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe
international Airport.
He revealed on his verified twitter account that he was searched by
agents of the state with an intention to intimidate his team.
The former vice president however said he aspires to build a better
Nigeria where no citizen is intimidated by agents of state who are paid to
protect.
The PDP presidential candidate spent weeks in Dubai shortly after winning
the presidential ticket of the main opposition party.
During his vacation he held strategic meetings with members of his
campaign team.
But the ruling All Progressives Congress criticized his decision to hold
his meetings outside Nigeria and they called on security agents to probe the
real motive behind the trip.
The APC in an earlier statement urged security agents to check for
suspicious movement of cash especially by politically exposed persons.
