As the 2027 election draws near, former President, Mohammadu Buhari, appears to have become the number one beauty whom top politicians are wooing.
A former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, ex-Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, and ex-Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, visited him at his Kaduna residence, four days after governors of his ruling All Progressives Congress did.
Others who accompanied Atiku, who is still planning to battle President Tinubu, included the former Minister of Communications, Isa Pantami; former governor of Imo State, Achike Udenwa; former governor of Benue State, Senator Gabriel Suswam; and former Governor of Adamawa State, Jibrilla Bindow, among others.
Buhari had pledged he would not abandon the APC but politicians believe anything is possible.
Atiku, who took to his verified X handle on Friday to disclose the visit, described it as a “wonderful time” 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.
