Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde on Tuesday held a private meeting with former Military President General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (retd.) at his residence in Minna, Niger State.
Sources said Atiku arrived in Minna at about 1:30 p.m. and went straight to Babangida’s home. Governor Makinde later joined him around 2:10 p.m., after which the closed-door discussions began.
The purpose of the meeting has not been made public, and it remains unclear how long the talks will last.
The meeting comes amid intrigues ahead of the 2027 elections.
While Atiku has indicated interest in contesting as a presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, Seyi also had a similar ambition in his faction of the Peoples Democratic Party.
