Why Buhari cancelled US trip

IT emerged on Saturday that the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari jettisoned his advertised trip to the United States of America because of the fear of being questioned over his involvement in the post 2011 election violence and his certificate saga.

The APC Campaign Organization had confirmed two weeks ago that the General would visit the United States to address some Diasporal Nigerians, but it emerged last week that Buhari had jettisoned the trip on fears his compatriots would batter him with questions over his involvement in the 2011 election saga which led to the death of 800 Nigerians, including ten Youth Corps members.

The Northern Coalition for Democracy and Justice (NCDJ) a group of Northern Pro-democracy activists had, some months ago, petitioned the International Criminal Court(ICC) in the Hague alleging that Buhari ‘s party was to be blamed for the 2011 post election violence.

 

The General had also been involved in a certificate saga, which remains unending despite spirited effort by the opposition party to keep it under the table.
