Atiku Abubakar: scolds rumour mongers about his mission to Dubai

Former Vice President and chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar said  mischief makers are out to draw a wedge between him and President Muhammadu Buhari and cause needless distrust and distractions in the President’s government.
Atiku, who is in Dubai with his family, about his injured knee, was reacting to reports that he has been holding political meetings at Burj Al-Arab, world’s most expensive hotel,  in the city.
Contrary to the rumours, he said, he is in Dubai for physiotherapy on his injured knee.
A press statement released by his media office in Abuja on Sunday, 27 December 2015 and signed by his Media Adviser, Mazi Paul Ibe said the former Vice President was embarrassed by the deliberate falsehoods being spread against him by political opponents who are bent on causing distraction for President Buhari at a time all energies should be channelled into helping the President actualise his change agenda.
Describing the rumour mongers as “ill-motivated busybodies that don’t wish the country well”, the Turaki Adamawa explained that his medical treatment is his private affairs, which should not be politicised by anybody to achieve sinister objectives.
Atiku Abubakar said he is entitled to enjoy his private life, including the right to attend to his health, without being harassed and lied against by political opponents.
Contrary to the insinuations by political opponents, the former Vice President said the success of the Buhari administration has been his preoccupation, and that any true APC member should have the same zeal. According to him, rumour mongers that seek to cause distrust and distraction in Buhari’s government do not mean well for the APC administration.
The former Vice President said with the challenges of providing good governance for the country and creating job opportunities for Nigerians, including reducing the impact of poverty, President Buhari needs all the goodwill and support in this endeavour.
“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”.
