Homage: Atiku’s PDP Team, Ganduje, APC NWC Members Visit Buhari Same Day In Kaduna.

Homage: As part of efforts to build his political alliance, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, yesterday, visited Ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, accompanied by former governors of Sokoto and Kaduna states, Aminu Tambuwal and Nasir el-Rufai, with other top politicians, as seen on social media.

In his post, Atiku said the former President in his usual manner cracked them up with jokes during their time with him while Atiku also said, “As the Waziri Adamawa, I was obligated to be in my Adamawa during the Sallah celebrations. I held forth for the Lamido Fombina (Adamawa) in some of the activities of the Sallah celebrations.

“Today, I had the opportunity to pay a post-Sallah visit to His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2015-2023. It was a wonderful time with him. As usual, he cracked me up (to the extent that my ribs were hurting) with his peculiar humour,” he wrote.

Similarly, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, on Friday, led members of the party’s National Working Committee to visit former President Muhammadu Buhari at his residence in Kaduna State.

Speaking with reporters after the meeting, El-Rufai said the visit to the former president was not political and asked “adversaries” not to lose sleep. The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory added that the visit was for “unity and brotherhood”.

While the outcome of the APC NWC’s visit remains unknown. However, there have been growing concerns about the possible departure of the Congress for Progressive Change faction from the APC following the defection of some party members.
