The spokesperson to the former PDP candidate, Paul Ibe, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, June 26, adding that Atiku left the country at about 11 am via the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
According to Ibe, the business trip Atiku embarked upon was a short one but did not specify when the former vice president would return to the country.
The statement reads in part:
This is coming barely five days since the former vice president visited the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari to pay Sallah homage to the former general at his country home in Daura, Katsina state.
While the leading opposition figure had said his visit to Buhari, who is a leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), was to pay the Nigerian leader a deserved respect, many political observers have said it was a permutation ahead of the 2027 election.
One of the influential figures who commented on the development was Shehu Sani, a former senator who represented Kaduna Central in the Eighth Senate.
