Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has travelled to Paris, the French capital.
Abubakar left the country hours after meeting Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
While many rumoured that the PDP candidate left the country for medical checks, Paul Ibe, his spokesman, denied this, saying Atiku went on a business trip.
“The former Vice President travelled last night on a scheduled trip to meet with the technical partners of one his business entities that was impacted by the Covid-19 global lockdown and the consequent economic downturn.”
“The meeting will also focus on conclusive discussions for a planned expansion of its production facility,” Ibe said.
