The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed reports that that the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, was flown to London, the United Kingdom (U.K.), because of health challenges. The party urged Nigerians to disregard the lies of unrepentant liars that the PDP candidate had ill health and was flown to London for medicals.
The spokesperson of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, and Director of Public Affairs of the PDP Presidential Campaign Management Committee, Dino Melaye, in a statement in Abuja, declared: “disregard the lies of unrepentant liars. Atiku is 100 per cent fit and in super form health wise.
“The British Government invited the leading presidential candidate, Abubakar, just like they had invited Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi earlier.”
There were reports that Abubakar fell sick and flown from Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to London, United Kingdom, for medical treatment.
