The former presidential candidate from the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, along with ex-Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai and former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, recently paid a visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari at his residence in Kaduna.

According to a video shared by our correspondent on X, other politicians who joined the visit on Friday included former Minister of Communications Isa Pantami, ex-Imo State Governor Achike Udenwa, former Senator Gabriel Suswam from Benue State, and former Adamawa State Governor Jibrilla Bindow, among others.

Atiku took to his verified X account on Friday to share details of the visit, calling it a “wonderful time” spent with the former President.

He wrote, “As the Waziri Adamawa, I was obligated to be in 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.”

The former Vice President, however, did not disclose the details of the meeting’s agenda and its outcome.
