‘He cracked me up with his humour to the extent that my ribs were hurting,’ Atiku reports visit to Buhari in Kaduna with El-Rufai, Tambuwal, others

Former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, ex-Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, and ex-Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, led visitors to former President Muhammadu Buhari at his Kaduna residence.

Other politicians who accompanied them to Buhari’s resident included the former Minister of Communications, Isa Pantami; former governor of Imo State, Achike Udenwa; former governor of Benue State, Senator Gabriel Suswam; and former Governor of Adamawa State, Jibrilla Bindow, among others.

Atiku, who took to his verified X handle on Friday to disclose the visit, described it as a “wonderful time” with the former President.

He wrote, “As the Waziri Adamawa, I was obligated to be in Adamawa during the Sallah celebrations. I held forth for the Lamido Fombina (Adamawa) in some of the activities of the Sallah celebrations.

“Today, I had the opportunity to pay a post-Sallah visit to His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2015-2023.

“It was a wonderful time with him. As usual, he cracked me up (to the extent that my ribs were hurting) with his peculiar humour.”

The former Vice President, however, did not disclose the details of the meeting’s agenda and its outcome.
