The media team for Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria President-to-be has repudiated media report alleging that he is seriously ill and may need a life-support oxygen machine”.
Alaba Yussuf, Head PR, issued the rebuttal in a statement on Wednesday.
Full text of his statment read: “Atiku Abubakar, President-to-be is Not Sick, Those Wishing Him Dead won’t Succeed Those unable to tar the image of our Principal and PDP presidential flagbearer, H.E. Atiku Abubakar, with the dirty brush of corruption, incompetence or visa scandal, have now come up with diabolical social media campaign that the former Vice President “is seriously ill and may need a life-support oxygen machine”.
“What a web of lies. In fact, prominent members of Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) have been perpetrating the ill will with a mischievous “quick recovery to Waziri Adamawa and PDP Candidate” on Facebook. Below is my candid reply to them: Nice one from your stable. We know the cable that is burning and requires replacement. H.E. Atiku Abubakar is as fit as fiddle. If he is ill, he would brief Nigerians of his ailment and he wont spend public fund to treat himself. Atiku is too modern to welcome prayers as solution to comatose public health… Atiku, President-to-be, is no awoof person!”
