The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the 2023 general election, Atiku Abubakar on Monday met with ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Atiku was Obasanjo’s vice president from 1999 to 2007.
Atiku led a delegation to meet with Obasanjo at the residence of the former Nigerian leader in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The former number two citizen’s convoy arrived at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta at 12:36pm in company of former Governor of Cross River State, Liyel Imoke and Senator Aminu Tambuwal, an ex-governor of Sokoto State.
The agenda of the meeting was not known as of press time but it comes amid plans by opposition politicians to map out strategies to form an alliance against the All Progressives Congress, APC, and win the 2027 presidential election.
Recently, Atiku hosted former Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, at his residence in Adamawa State.
Atiku told journalists at the end of the meeting with Obasanjo at 2:11pm that it was only a courtesy visit.
Following a barrage of questions, he said he would not make comments on political issues.
“It’s just a courtesy visit, please. I am not going to talk about politics,” he said.
