Atiku Visits Buhari in Daura for Sallah Greetings, Not Political Agenda
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.
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
