Reports reveal that the former Vice President was accompanied on the visit by former governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, as part of the entourage, which includes other PDP bigwigs and stakeholders.
The visit of the Waziri Adamawa to the immediate past president is coming barely three days after he visited former military heads of state, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar, in their respective residences in Minna, Niger State.
Announcing the earlier visits in a post on X, Atiku had said, “Today, I paid Sallah homage to former Heads of State Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) and Gen. Abdusalami at their residences in Minna, Niger State.”
The visits have heightened speculations that Atiku is preparing grounds to contest the 2027 presidential election.
In May, Atiku had vowed to continue contesting for the presidency as long as he is healthy.
He made the declaration amid moves to form a coalition with his counterpart from Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, and other political parties.
The discussions the parties during the visits still remained shrouded in mystery.
A resident of Daura, who confided in Channels Television, said the visit may not be unconnected with the 2027 general elections.
