Paul Ibe, his media adviser, said the former vice president left Nigeria on Monday night.
While on the scheduled visit, Ibe said Abubakar is expected to meet with the technical partners of one of his businesses affected by the lockdown resulting from the COVID pandemic.
Ibe said the meeting would focus on a conclusive discussion of a planned expansion of Abubakar’s businesses.
“Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has travelled to Europe on business,” the statement reads.
“The former Vice President travelled last night on a scheduled trip to meet with the technical partners of one of his business entity that was impacted by the Covid-19 global lockdown and the consequent economic downturn.”
On September 16, newsmen reported that Abubakar made a similar trip to Europe alongside Ifeanyi Okowa, governor of Delta.
Meanwhile, the development comes after Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation, had claimed that Abubakar traveled to Paris to seek medical attention.
In a tweet earlier on Tuesday, Fani-Kayode had said Abubakar collapsed after complaining of headache and severe pains in his head during a flight to Abuja from Kaduna on Monday.
