Atiku And Obasanjo Meet For The First Since Presidential Election


Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, in the last presidential election, paid a visit to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Thursday.
The meeting was made known in a statement signed by Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi.
Though Akinyemi disclosed pedestrian details of the meeting, he did not give any detail as to what both men discussed.
“Abubakar arrived at about 12:00pm, had a closed session with Obasanjo and came out at about 1:00pm; observed his Islamic prayers and lunch before taking his leave at about 2:00pm,” the terse statement read.
Atiku and Obasanjo had fallen out shortly before they left power in 2007 but reconciled three months to the just-concluded presidential election.
This is the first time they will meet, since President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC, defeated Atiku at the February 23 poll.
