The purpose of the meeting remains unclear, but it comes at a time when opposition politicians are reportedly strategizing on how to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and secure victory in the 2027 presidential election.
Atiku served as Obasanjo’s deputy from May 1999 to May 2007. He was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in 2023, finishing second behind President Bola Tinubu of the APC, who won the election.
At 78, Atiku has been pursuing the presidency for over three decades.
