The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday jetted off to Europe on business.
The development was confirmed by his media aide, Paul Ibe in a statement released on Tuesday amidst speculation that Atiku has ill health. Ibe, however, stated that the former vice president travelled out of the country for purely business. Naija News gathered that the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the former lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial district, Dino Melaye followed Atiku on his trip to Europe. Atiku travelled out of Nigeria in the middle of the presidential campaign of the main opposition party. The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu and an associate of the presidential candidate Timi Frank were seen with him. See the pictures below:

Fani-Kayode stated this in a post on his Twitter handle on Tuesday. The former minister claimed that Atiku collapsed after returning to Abuja after the PDP presidential campaign rally in Kaduna on Monday. He claimed that the former vice-president had complained of dizziness and severe pains in his head.
