Nigeria: Atiku Dances in Solo Video

Atiku wore two types of attires in the dancing video. The first was a trouser and a T-shirt while the other was a flowing robe.

The presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has showed off his "youthfulness" in a short video posted on Twitter by his supporters.

In the 43 seconds video, the 75-year old Adamawa-born politician was seen dancing alone in smart attires, ostensibly to demonstrate that he was still a youth at heart.

The video was shared by one of Atiku's supporters, Reno Omokri, through @renoomokri. It bore the caption "Breaking: Watch @atiku Dance for Nigeria!"
