Former Vice-President
Atiku Abubakar has asked his political opponents to desist from fabricating
lies in a bid to cause a disagreement between him and President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Atiku, who alleged that his political enemies
were sponsoring propaganda to cause distrust, said he was not plotting against
the President.
He said this in a statement issued by his Media
Adviser, Paul Ibe, on Sunday.
He dismissed an allegation that he had been
hosting political meetings at Burj Al-Arab, Dubai, to frustrate Buhari.
Atiku said, “This is the work of rumour-mongers
planning to cause distrust and distraction in Buhari’s government. They do not
mean well for the APC administration. With the challenges of providing good
governance for the country and creating job opportunities for Nigerians,
including reducing the impact of poverty, President Buhari needs all the
goodwill and support in these endeavours.”
According to the former vice-president, the
success of Buhari’s administration has been his preoccupation.
He said that contrary to the rumours being
peddled by his political opponents, he was currently in Dubai with his family
for physiotherapy on his injured knee.
He said it was unfortunate that at a time that
energy should be channelled into helping the President actualise his change
agenda, some were busy spreading deliberate falsehood to cause distraction.
He warned that his private affairs should not be
politicised by anybody to achieve sinister objectives.
Atiku said he was entitled to enjoy his private
life, including the right to attend to his health without being harassed and
lied against by political opponents.
