Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), visited former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Monday, February 1.
The former Vice President arrived at Obasanjo’s residence within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) at 12:37 p.m., accompanied by former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, former Cross River State Governor Liyel Imoke, and other prominent political figures from the northern region.
The delegation was received by elder statesman Oyewole Fasawe before proceeding to a private meeting with Obasanjo, who had been expecting them.
Emerging from the meeting at exactly 2:11 p.m., Atiku addressed journalists but refused to entertain questions about politics.
“It’s just a courtesy visit, please. I am not going to talk about politics,” he stated.
Atiku’s visit comes amid ongoing discussions among opposition leaders about forming a coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Recently, the former Vice President has been seen holding a series of meetings with top opposition figures, fueling speculation about a grand alliance to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress
