Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has denied reports that he was on Monday queried by the leadership of his party over his recent call for the restructuring of the country.
In a statement issued by his Media Office Tuesday in Abuja, the All Progressives Congress chieftain noted that his visit to the party secretariat was not a response to summon by the leadership of the party as widely reported.
“My visit to the national secretariat of our great party was to rub minds with the party hierarchy, and it was of a routine kind as a chieftain of the party.
“I was neither summoned nor queried by the party on any issue as being speculated. Rather, my visit was at my own behest.
“As a party chieftain, I owe it a duty to my party to appraise challenges within the structures of the party and also proffer suggestions on how to manage those challenges. I urge you all to discountenance any malicious insinuations about my visit to the party secretariat”, he concluded.
A national paper had reported that the former vice president was summoned to the party secretariat to answer queries regarding his public calls for restructuring.
