There are many Arsenal fans in Nigeria and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is one of them.

The former All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate who lost the bid at the primary stage, decided to take his love for the English Premiership League (EPL) club on Thursday announcing on twitter that he was joining the Arsene Wenger side after completing his medicals.

Atiku posted pictures of himself on a treadmill and some other gym equipment with a caption that he was joining the EPL team in January.

“Warming up for my medicals, so I can complete my transfer to Arsenal in January,” he twitted.

If he is not joking, it is unclear what the 69-year-old would do when he joins the team. Maybe he’d relieve Wenger or assist him.
