Atiku’s aide denies ill health rumours

Spokesperson and Director, Public Affairs of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Management Committee, Senator Dino Melaye, has denied speculations that the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has been flown to London from Dubai for treatment over an unnamed illness.

“Disregard the lies of unrepentant liars. Atiku is 100 per cent fit and in super form health wise,” Melaye said, when asked to react to the rumour. He, however, confirmed: “The British Government invited the leading presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, just like they had invited Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi earlier.”

He urged Nigerians to “henceforth, disregard drug-induced statements.”
