Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar is currently in Dubai treating an injured knee, his media office has said.
Atiku sustained the injury years ago and has been attending physiotherapy sessions for full recovery.
His spokesman, Paul Ibe, said in a statement that Atiku dismissed claims by “mischief makers” that he was holding political meetings in Dubai to plot against President Muhammadu Buhari.
Atiku sought the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) last year and lost to Buhari, but it is believed that he may want to give it another try in 2019.
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 all energies should be channelled into helping the President actualise his change agenda.
“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.
“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.”
