Atiku Went On Secret Medical Trip To Germany In 2021 – Estranged Wife Reveals

Jennifer Iwenjiora Douglas, ex-wife of Atiku Abubakar, has disclosed that the former Vice President went on a secret medical trip to Germany in September 2021.

In an interview with The Trent on Monday, Douglas said Atiku left Abuja for Germany to treat an undisclosed ailment in 2021 during the surge in the COVID-19 pandemic.

The estranged wife of the former vice president, however, failed to disclose his ailment.

She said: “When I came to Nigeria, in early September 2021. I asked to have a private conversation with His Excellency. During that conversation, I informed his Excellency that once I get back to the United Kingdom, I will go to Dubai and take over the house. He subsequently departed for his medical trip to Germany refusing to address any of the issues I privately wanted to conclude with him outside of third parties.”

In December 2015, Abubakar was in Dubai for medical treatment and had sought several medical help in the city, which he has made a second home.

Also, the chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also took his COVID-19 jabs in Dubai in 2021.

The former vice president is rumoured to be interested in joining the 2023 presidential race, following consultations done on his behalf by media entrepreneur, Chief Raymond Dokpesi.

Naija News reports that the 2023 presidential election will be Atiku’s fourth bid for the nation’s highest position.

Meanwhile, former lawmaker, Abdulmumin Jibrin has amid zoning controversies expressed confidence that former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu will emerge as the next President of Nigeria.

Giving his reasons for believing the All Progressive Congress, APC National Leader will scale through the party primaries, zoning hurdles, and eventually win the 2023 presidential election, Jibrin said Tinubu is most qualified and competent.

The politician maintained that Tinubu will surely succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, adding that he is the best candidate from the party come 2023.

Naija News reports that Jibrin said this in a post on his verified Twitter page on Monday.

He noted that just as Buhari was fielded and won the 2015 presidential election, so also will Tinubu beat all oppositions to claim the party’s sole ticket and win the election.
