Atiku, in an interview with BBC Pidgin, said, “the only medical problem I had if you remember was in 2006 during one election year when I fell from the staircase.

“I went to Germany for treatment. I don’t have a fracture, I only had what they called tendon rupture and they brought it back to where it should be, that is the only thing I have.

Atiku when asked if he would be travelling out for medical treatment if he becomes president said, “As long as any medical attention I need is available in the country, I will use it.

“But if it is not available, what do you want me to do, to sit down and die?

“If I am to bring medical people or fly abroad, whichever one is cheaper in the country is what I will do.”
