Kashim Shettima, the Vice President-Elect, paid a visit to former military President General Ibrahim Babangida and former Head of State General Abdulsalami Abubakar on Thursday.
Shettima, who was in Minna, the capital of Niger State, paid separate tributes to the two former Nigerian leaders during Ramadan.
According to sources close to the two leaders, Shettima’s visits were not unrelated to the incoming All Progressives Congress (APC) government led by President-Elect Bola Tinubu.
The sources said Tinubu is seeking the support of the two elder statesmen.
It was further gathered that the move by the Vice President-Elect was to consult with the two former military leaders over plot by some politicians to install an interim government as confirmed by the Department of State Services (DSS) on Wednesday.
