Contrary to speculations that he has been having conspiratorial meetings in Dubai against President Muhammadu Buhari, former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has declared that he is in that city only to massage his injured knee and relax with his family.
He described stories linking him with conspiracy against Buhari as the handiwork of “political mischief makers and enemies of unity.”
In a statement by his media office in Abuja on Sunday and signed by his Media Adviser, Mr Paul Ibe, Atiku said he was embarrassed by the deliberate falsehoods being spread against him by “ill-motivated busybodies that don’t wish the country well.”
The statement reads;
“Contrary to the insinuations by political opponents, the former vice president says the success of the Buhari administration has been his preoccupation, and that any true APC member should have the same zeal.
“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.
“Rumour mongers and mischief makers are toxic to the progress of the APC and the country at large. The campaigns are gone, and therefore, all energies should be constructively devoted to the success of the Buhari administration.
“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.”
