Atiku And Tinubu Meets In Abuja

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in the last general elections Atiku Abubakar, has reportedly met with the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress APC, Bola Tinubu.

The two political figures met briefly at the at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja on Saturday.

It was gathered that both held brief discussion while the content of the discussion was not disclosed to the media.

Tinubu’s spokesman, Mr Tunde Rahman, disclosed the development on his social media platform confirming the meeting took place on Saturday.

In the picture posted by Rahman on Facebook, Tinubu and Atiku who held each other’s hands, were seen engrossed in a discussion while the Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, was seen listening to them with rapt attention.

The caption of the picture as posted by Rahman read, “Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar exchanging views when they ran into each other at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja.

“Asiwaju was on his way to Minna, Niger State to receive a honorary doctorate from the IBB University, Lapai and former VP, Kaduna for a wedding.

“They were flanked by Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.”

It could be recalled that ahead of the 2015 presidential election won by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), both Tinubu and Atiku, as party leaders, worked for the APC.

Atiku was one of the party’s presidential aspirants who lost to Buhari at the party’s primary held in Lagos.

After Buhari won the election, however, Atiku and some other prominent politicians like the then President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki; the then Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, among others returned to the PDP.

Atiku contested the PDP’s presidential ticket for the 2019 election at the party’s primary held in Port Harcourt and won.

Unlike in 2015 when he and Tinubu were in the same camp, they were in opposing camps during the 2019 elections and they are still in opposing camps as of now.

The photograph has been generating reactions with commentators warning supporters who maim or kill because of their political leaders to learn from the two leaders.
