Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate for the 2023 poll, Atiku Abubakar, is set to travel to Dubai for health reasons.
Persecondnews reports that a recurring and nagging back pain may be sending Atiku to Dubai for medical attention.
The former vice-president is also scheduled to depart Dubai for an engagement in Paris, France.
Atiku was in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Tuesday for the Southwest stakeholders meeting of the party.
In 2015 after the elections, Atiku took ill and was at a hospital in Dubai for treatment, according to his political associate, Abdullahi Sugar.
He will face the duo of Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi and All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu in the election next year.
