Buhari in UK for talks in Chatam House

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday left Abuja on a short working visit to the United Kingdom.
In the course of the visit, Buhari is expected to hold meetings with key members of the British political establishment and interact with some global institutions with stakeholder interest in the affairs of Nigeria. Gen. Buhari is also expected to give a talk at the prestigious foreign policy hub, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatam House, in London. Meanwhile, the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, APCPCO, has said it has evidence that a top management staff of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, was behind the dirty campaigns of hate against Gen. Buhari and his family aired in the recent documentary by Africa Independent Television, AIT, and Nigerian Television Authority, NTA.
APCPCO’s Director of Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said the agency has been identified as the sponsor of all dirty campaigns against the APC presidential candidate on AIT, NTA and several other media platforms.
This, according to Shehu, contravenes the NIMASA Act, the Public Service Regulations, and the INEC Act 2010 as amended, among others.
APCPCO decried the situation where a government agency uses public funds to sponsor campaign of calumny against the presidential candidate of a political party, which it said is not only illegal, but should also be condemned and investigated by the Joint Committees of the National Assembly on Marine Transportation.
If these claims were found to be true by the Joint Committee, the statement said, disciplinary action should be taken against the agency and its leadership.
“It is a well known fact that the Director General of the Agency, Mr. Ziakede Patrick Akpobolokemi was President Goodluck Jonathan’s and a wellknown ex-militant’s errand boy.
