Atiku
A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has alleged that Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate collapsed in Abuja on Monday.
However, Atiku’s Media Aide, Paul Ibe, quickly reacted to the information, saying the PDP flag bearer travelled on a scheduled trip.
Fani-Kayode had earlier written on his Twitter page that Atiku collapsed after he arrived in Abuja from his rally in Kaduna State.
He added that Atiku was flown to Paris for medical care.
He wrote, “After his outing in Kaduna yesterday @atiku fell ill. He complained of dizzy spells & severe pains in his head & all over his body throughout the flight to Abuja. After landing at Abuja airport he collapsed.
“He was flown to Paris for medical attention immediately. God be with him.
“For the purposes of damage control they took pictures of him with others the following morning from Paris but please do not be fooled.
“There is something very wrong with the PDP presidential candidate in terms of his health & they don’t want the Nigerian public to know. Pray for him.”
But a statement by Ibe said the former Vice President travelled out on a scheduled trip.
According to the statement, the PDP presidential candidate is billed to meet with the technical partners of one of his business entities that were impacted by the COVID-19 lockdown and the consequent economic downturn.
It added, “The meeting will also focus on conclusive discussions for a planned expansion of its production facility.”
