In a significant political rendezvous, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has arrived for an exclusive meeting with ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Atiku’s convoy arrived at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, at exactly 12:36pm.
Welcomed warmly by Otunba Oyewole Fasawe, a close ally of Obasanjo, Atiku was not alone as he was accompanied by notable figures, including the former Governors of Cross River and Sokoto States, Liyel Imoke and Senator Aminu Tambuwal, alongside Senator Abdul Ningi representing Bauchi Central.
As reports from Daily Trust suggest, Atiku wasted no time and immediately entered a closed-door meeting with his former boss.
Atiku, who emerged from the meeting at about exactly 2:11pm, told newsmen that he came on a courtesy visit.
He, however, insisted that he would not speak on political issues after barrage of questions from newsmen.
“It’s just a courtesy visit, please. I am not going to talk about politics,” he said.
The former president candidate and some opposition parties’ leaders have been holding meetings over alleged plans to form a coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.
