A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has paid a visit to former vice
president, Atiku Abubakar.
Kwankwaso who was absent at the APC
convention which took place on Saturday, June
23 arrived at the house of the former president
in Abuja at about 8:30pm.
According to Premium Times, Kwankwaso who is
a serving senator held a closed door meeting
with Atiku who was also a member of the APC
before he decamped to the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) to intensify his presidential pursuit.
There has been speculation that the Kwankwaso
is also plotting a move to leave the APC as he is
facing tight opposition from current Kano
governor, Umaru Ganduje.
Sources claimed Kwankwaso’s visit was only to
pay homage to Atiku for the Eid Il Fitr
celebration as he was not in the country during
that period.
The sources added that it would be clearer in the
future if the meeting was related to the senator’s
political future.
A source said: “They only touched on the future of
Nigeria as a nation, but not necessarily their individual
futures.”
Paul Ibe who is the spokesperson of the former
vice president also confirmed the meeting
between the duo but said there was no reason to
raise any speculation as their meeting lasted for
less than an hour.
Meanwhile, former chairman of the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) John Odigie-Oyegun
wished his successor Adams Oshiomhole good
luck as the new national leader of the party.
