Another exclusive from Premium Times;
Contrary to claims that the presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress [APC], is travelling to the United States for medical
reasons, Premium Times has obtained a correspondence indicating Mr. Buhari is
only honouring an invitation by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and
International Studies [CSIS].
Media reports had suggested some days ago that the APC
candidate had become so sick that he was planning a medical trip abroad. Mr.
Buhari responded by saying he was not sick but only had cold.
But the media house has now obtained a letter signed by the
Director, African Programme of CSIS, Jennifer Cooke, inviting Mr. Buhari to the
organisation’s headquarters in Washington DC “to give a major public address on
Nigeria’s future as it stands on the edge of a pivotal national elections.”
Ms. Cooke gave Mr. Buhari the liberty to choose a convenient
date for the proposed lecture.
“We propose to hold this event on a day of your choosing on
either the week of January 5th or the week of January 26th, 2015 but will of
course do our best to accommodate your schedule should you have other
preferences.”
Travelling at this time would mean Mr. Buhari opted for the
week of January 26th. So there you have it people, the real reason Buhari is
travelling to US.
