“Atiku is not feeling fine; he is in the hospital receiving treatment.
“That’s why he is not back in Nigeria for the presidential campaign. He was in Dubai but has now left Dubai for London for treatment. He has been flown to the UK for treatment. That is why he is still abroad.”
The situation and cause of ill health are yet to be confirmed, but his whereabouts have sparked a lot of outcry and criticism from opposition supporters and political critics.
A chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Femi Fani-Kayode was one of the top political figures to react to the speculations about Atiku’s alleged ill health.
Fani-Kayode took to his Twitter handle saying:
"Yet again Mr. Privatise Everything fell dangerously ill & ran to Dubai for a "stich it up" procedure. Watch how he walks & you will know what's going on.
"Now he is on his way to the UK to beg British MP's for their support. Must he bend the knee for the Brits too? Truly shameful."
