Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has returned to Nigeria.

There were reports that the PDP candidate left the country to seek medical attention, but Paul Ibe, his spokesman, denied this, saying Atiku went on a business trip.

 

In the past few days, a couple of events have been threatening the peace within PDP, especially the stance of Governor Nyesom Wike’s camp that is demanding the resignation of Senator Iyioricha Ayu as the party chairman.

 

While Atiku was abroad, Wike endorsed Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his Lagos counterpart, an action seen as a blow to the party, which has fielded Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor.

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has alleged that Atiku collapsed in Abuja on Monday.

 

He said the incident occurred after Atiku arrived Abuja from his rally in Kaduna State.

 

“He complained of dizzy spells and severe pains in his head and all over his body throughout the flight to Abuja.
After landing at Abuja airport he collapsed.

 

Fani-Kayode said, “He was flown to Paris for medical attention immediately. For the purposes of damage control they took pictures of him with others the following morning from Paris but please do not be fooled.

 

“There is something very wrong with the PDP presidential candidate in terms of his health and they don’t want the Nigerian public to know. God be with him.”
