Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar paid a Sallah visit to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday at his Daura residence in Katsina State, accompanied by a group of high-profile politicians.

Atiku said the visit was purely a show of respect and goodwill for the Eid celebration, not a political move.

The meeting has sparked interest, especially with the 2027 elections drawing closer, but Atiku dismissed any talks of political motives or coalition plans.

“We came to greet President Buhari for Sallah. Nothing more,” he told reporters.

Among those in the delegation were former Kaduna and Sokoto governors, Nasir El-Rufai and Aminu Tambuwal, along with other notable figures.

Atiku also explained the delay in his visit, saying he was attending to duties in Adamawa, where he stood in for the Lamido of Adamawa during the celebrations.

Despite speculations, he emphasized that the visit had no ties to 2027 politics.

“It’s simply about showing respect and sharing in the joy of the season,” he added.

Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.

Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.

“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.

According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”

He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.
