The camp of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday dismissed speculations surrounding his recent trip to Morocco, insisting that the visit was strictly for a family wedding ceremony and not connected to politics or coalition talks ahead of the 2027 elections.
Atiku’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, made the clarification in a statement issued in Abuja.
The clarification followed growing public interest in the former presidential candidate’s foreign engagements amid ongoing political realignments within the opposition camp.
According to Shaibu, Atiku travelled to Marrakech, Morocco, where he chaired the wedding ceremony of Cherina and Muna Okey Ezeibe on Saturday.
“His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, yesterday chaired the wedding ceremony of Cherina and Muna Okey Ezeibe in the enchanting city of Marrakech, Morocco, in what was a remarkable celebration of love, friendship, family, and African unity.
“The event has nothing to do with politics,” the statement read.
Shaibu explained that the event drew dignitaries, family members and close associates from across Africa in what he described as a ceremony marked by elegance and symbolism.
