Atiku debunks hosting 2019 political meetings
in Dubai By Our Reporter / December 28,
2015 Former Vice President and chieftain of All
Progressives Congress, APC, Atiku Abubakar has
advised mischief makers to desist from sinister
propaganda designed to draw a wedge between him
and President Muhammadu Buhari in order to cause
needless distrust and distractions. Reacting to
insinuations by what he calls political mischief
makers and enemies of unity, who allege that he
has been hosting political meetings at Burj
Al-Arab, Dubai, the former Vice President says
contrary to the rumours being bandied around by
political opponents, he is currently in Dubai
with his family for physiotherapy on his injured
knee. A press statement released by his media
office in Abuja on Sunday, December 27, 2015 and
signed by his Media Adviser, Mazi Paul Ibe said
the former Vice President is embarrassed by the
deliberate falsehoods being spread against him by
political opponents who are bent on causing
distraction for President Buhari at a time when
all energies should be channelled into helping
the President actualise his change
agenda. Describing the rumour mongers as
ill-motivated busybodies that dont wish
the country well, the Turakin Adamawa explained
that his medical treatment is his
2
private affair 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. The statement said,
contrary to the insinuations by political
opponents, the success of the Buhari
administration has been the preoccupation of the
former Vice President, and that any true APC
member should have the same zeal. The statement
added that the rumour mongers that seek to cause
distrust and distraction in Buharis government
do not mean well for the APC administration,
adding that with the challenges of providing
good governance for the country and creating job
opportunities for Nigerians staring the
President Buhari in the face, Buhari needs all
the goodwill and support he could get from men
of goodwill to succeed. 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 the presiedent works assiduously to turn the
fortunes of our dear country around and make
Nigeria work for the greater good of
all. According to Atiku, rumour mongers and
mischief makers are toxic to the progress of the
APC administration and the country at large,
adding that with the campaigns over, 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, the statement
explained. News Source nigerianpilot.com/atiku-d
