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.

Huge loss beset the Pengana Constituency of Plateau State yesterday after Hon. Ezekiel Afon, who was re-elected as their representative in the state's house of assembly died only hours after he was delclared winner. Afon who contested on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was confirmed dead by the party's Secretary in the state, Bashir Sati in Jos, Sunday afternoon. According to Sati, Afon died on Sunday afternoon after a brief illness. “It is unfortunate that we lost Afon, one of the most dedicated members of our party and a committed lawmaker just after he was declared winner to occupy his seat again. Though he has been sick for a while, we received the news of his demise with rude shock,” he said. Afon was first elected into the Assembly under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015, but defected to APC in 2017
