Atiku gets warm reception in Dubai Nigerian restaurant

Atiku Abubakar

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 23 election, Atiku Abubakar, was ‘almost mobbed’ on Monday in a Nigerian restaurant in Dubai.

Reno Omokri, an ex-aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, said on Twitter on Monday that Atiku was almost mobbed by staff and clients of Kiza, a Nigerian restaurant in Dubai.

“HE @Atiku, the rigged out winner of Nigeria’s February 23, 2019 elections is almost mobbed by staff and clients of Kiza, a Nigerian restaurant in Dubai. Everywhere he goes, the people continue to show love to Atiku,” Mr Omokri tweeted.

A former deputy spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, is among those with Atiku on his visit to the oil-rich city.

Atiku was last seen publicly in Dubai in the buildup to the 2019 elections.
