According to the former vice president, he travels abroad for normal medical check-ups and not any major treatment.
Speaking on the medical issue he had in 2006 which saw him fall from the staircase, Atiku said what he had then was a tendon rupture and was treated.
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.
“If the electoral authority asks us to produce our medical report I am ready to produce it.”
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.”
