“If America says come today, I will board the flight and go there soonest,” Abubakar told political columnist Dele Momodu, Premium Times reports.
“I applied to America for visa which was not granted. A man who is afraid of being arrested won’t go near the American Embassy, it is simple logic.
“If America says come today, I will board the flight and go there soonest. Perhaps, America was fed with lies about me. It is normal in politics.
“The Indian and Kenyan leaders could not visit America at a time. America is not like Nigeria where we convict people on the pages of newspapers.
“I have thrown the challenge repeatedly that anyone who has any corrupt charges against me should come forward.
“I never stole government money. Do you think President Obasanjo would not have exposed me if there was any such act of stealing?”
