Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party has returned from his three weeks medical trip to Dubai.
Atiku came back on Sunday morning and was subjected to rigourous checks by security operatives at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport Abuja.
His party has condemned the manner Atiku was quizzed but the minister of aviation , Hadi Sirika described it as routine.
Atiku jetted out of the country to Dubai shortly after picking the PDP presidential ticket.
Many wondered why he should be in Dubai when there is so much work to do in Nigeria by his party.
But it later emerged that Atiku was actually attending to health matters which his handlers said was a strategy meeting.
His return on Sunday was greeted with so much excitement from party members with many saying that the battle for President Muhammadu Buhari’s ouster has started.
