Former Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, ex-Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, and ex-Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, and former governor of Imo State, Achike Udenwa have visited former President Muhammadu Buhari at his Kaduna residence.

Other politicians who visited Buhari on Friday included Buhari’s Minister of Communications, Dr Isa Pantami, former governor of Benue State, Senator Gabriel Suswam; and former Governor of Adamawa State, Jibrilla Bindow, among others.

Atiku, who took to his verified X handle on Friday to disclose the visit, described it as a “wonderful time” with the former President.

He wrote: “As the Waziri Adamawa, I was obligated to be in Adamawa during the Sallah celebrations. I held forth for the Lamido Fombina (Adamawa) in some of the activities of the Sallah celebrations.

“Today, I had the opportunity to pay a post-Sallah visit to His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2015-2023.

“It was a wonderful time with him. As usual, he cracked me up (to the extent that my ribs were hurting) with his peculiar humour.”

On the meeting’s agenda and its outcome, the former Vice President told anxious reporters after the visit that it was purely a visit or post-Sallah homage to his friend, adding that he was at liberty to visit people especially his friends.
