Former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar, has denied rumour that he has been in Dubai plotting to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
Rather in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, the APC chieftain said he is Dubai for medical reason adding that “the success of the Buhari administration has been my preoccupation.”
The statement reads in part: “Whether at home or abroad, the Turaki is preoccupied with his unassailable support to President Buhari and his administration, especially in this critical time, as it works assiduously to turn the fortunes of our dear country around and make Nigeria work for the greater good of Nigerians”.
“This is yet another plot of the enemies of our country and democracy to divide, divert attention and distract the APC in its avowed commitment to secure the country, provide jobs for the mass of unemployed youths, build needed critical infrastructure, enthrone a regime of probity and accountability and pull the country out of the economic woods it has been consigned to by locust years of mismanagement.”
