Former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who had earlier paid a visit to
the governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, arrived in a convoy, and drove
into the former president’s compound.
He
moved into the inner chamber of the building briskly as soon as he
arrived. After a closed-door meeting which lasted for about 45 minutes,
he emerged from the chamber with his host, and went to another wing of
the building where they had lunch.
He
later emerged after 20 minutes and told journalists that he had come to
pay respect to his former boss and also discuss the developments in the
country with him.
He said, “I came
to pay my respect to my former boss, President Olusegun Obasanjo and we
discussed the state of the nation generally.”
He would, however, not reveal the details of their discussion.
He said contrary to rumours making the rounds, he enjoyed an extremely cordial relationship with Obasanjo.
Atiku
while reacting to the moves that the Speaker Aminu Tambuwal had also
joined the APC presidential race, said “the more the merrier, APC is a
democratic party.”
