Former vice president and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has debunked rumours that he is on the verge of fleeing the country into exile following his loss in the 2023 presidential election to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Atiku was responding to allegations by a group under the auspices of “The Natives”, who, on Wednesday during a protest in Abuja, appealed to him and the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, not to abandon the country following their loss in the February 25 poll.
While addressing newsmen during the peaceful protest, the convener of the group, Smart Edward, said Atiku and Obi should jettison the idea of going on exile but should stay back and join hands with the incoming government to move the country forward.
