US publication alleges Trump lobbyist helped Atiku secure visa

A US publication, Popular Information, alleged that a lobbyist linked with US President Donald Trump was instrumental in the travel of the People’s Democratic Party Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to the United States of America after his 12-year visa denial due to corruption charges.

In an article titled, “What does a $1.1 million lobbying contract buy in Trump’s Washington? ” the publication run by Judd Legum, said, “Abubakar was formally barred from obtaining a visa pursuant to a presidential proclamation targeting corrupt foreign officials.”

“So Abubakar had a problem. His inability to enter the United States was becoming a drag on his campaign to be the next president of Nigeria.
