“The Eagle @atiku has landed from his U.S trip.” Mr Ibe posted on his Twitter handle.

POLITICS TIMES as at press time could not ascertain which of the airport the PDP candidate used in landing.

Already, the federal government has advised the PDP flag-bearer to warm up to answer to a fresh allegation of corruption against him.

He is accused of benefiting from slush funds that pulled down Bank PHB, now known as Keystone Bank.

Atiku has described the allegations as a cook and bull story.
