Former vice -president Atiku Abubakar, on Friday, led some politicians to the residence of Kaduna of the immediate past president, Muhammadu Buhari.

They had a meeting with the former president and also observed the prayer of Friday Juma’Ah with him.
Freedom Online learned that partisan issues, as usual, were discussed during their meeting before Juma’Ah’s prayer. It is not clear whether the presidential elections of 2027 were at the center of their discussion.

A statement signed by the spokesperson of Atiku, Paul Ibe, reads:
“The requests to be Waziri Adamawa made it impossible for the former vice -president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, make visits during the Celebrations of the Sallah.
It was supposed to be in Adamawa, resisting for Lamido Fombina (Adamawa), dr. Muhammadu Barkind Aliyu Musdafa, in some of the activities of the Sallah period.

“Today it was appropriate to lead a delegation that included the former governor of the state of Kaduna, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of the state of Sokoto, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and the former governor of the State of Adamawa, senator of Jibrilla, among others, in a post-alvasque visit for his home Muhammadu, at 2015-2023 Kaduna, Kaduna state.

“Others in the delegation were former governor of Benue’s state, senator Gabriel Suswan, former governor of the Imo state, head of Achike Udenwa, senator Idris Umar, Hon Mohammed Kumalia, captain Yahaya Abubakar, Alhaji Musa Halilu (Dujima Admawa) and Alhaji Salisa Makarfi.
