Governor Abubakar Sani-Bello of Niger State, who is also Abubakar’s in-law, was also said to have flown out of the country to be with the former president.
The source revealed that Abubakar who was brought to the UK for urgent medical care had been sick for some time.
“He was 80 years old last week and all plans to celebrate him in a big way by family, friends and associates could not materialise because he had to be brought to London for medical care.
“His condition is not deteriorating but calls for worry. He is not a young man at 80 but we are praying for good health for him.
