I Am In Good Health, Atiku Debunks Viral Video Of Infirmity

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has debunked the report of his ill-health as conveyed in a report and viral video purporting him to be infirm.

Debunking the report that alleged that he was infirm to the extent that he was being helped to put on his seat belt in vehicle, Atiku affirmed that his presence at the PDP rally in Osogbo preceding the victory of the party in the Osun State governorship election showed he was in good health.

Debunking the report through his media adviser, Paul Ibe, the former Vice-President and presidential candidate of the PDP said:

Our attention has been drawn to a report and a video in a section of the media purporting to be of an “ailing” Atiku Abubakar being helped strapped to his car seatbelt by an aide.

Nothing can be further from the truth. For the records, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in robust good health.

We would not ordinarily have responded to this mischief, but for the impression that it will create in the minds of Nigerians which is exactly the objective of the purveyors of this fake news.

Recall that the former Vice President of Nigeria and Presidential candidate of the PDP was in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State on Thursday for the grand rally of the PDP ahead of weekend’s election and victory of its governorship candidate, Sen. Ademola Adeleke.

Atiku In Good Health

It is important to note that protective  operations  encompasses all measures being  put in  place  to  ensure extreme safety of a  VIP both on  foot  movements, static, and  on motion.

It is the responsibility of the head of Atiku Abubakar’s security to ensure his safety before the convoy commences any movement. Since VIP movement entails protective driving, securing a VIP before embarking on any type of journey be it short or long distance cannot be over emphasised. The overriding consideration at all times is the safety of Atiku Abubakar.

We wish to state that Atiku Abubakar is not averse to scrutiny because of the consequential nature of the 2023 elections. However, it is our position that such scrutiny must not be predicated on a slash and burn rogue journalism as is the case with this contrived report.
