Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has explained the purpose of his recent visit to fellow presidential aspirant, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, stating that their meeting centered on discussions about the state of the nation and efforts to strengthen their party ahead of future political engagements.
Atiku disclosed this in a post on his X account on Sunday following a visit to Hayatu-Deen at his Lagos residence.
According to the former vice president, the meeting was frank and productive, with both leaders agreeing on the need for closer collaboration in addressing Nigeria’s political and governance challenges at a time when opposition parties are engaging in consultations and strategic discussions ahead of future elections.
“Earlier today, I visited my brother and fellow aspirant in the ADC presidential primaries, Alhaji Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, at his residence in Lagos. Our discussions on the state of our nation and party were frank and productive,” Atiku stated.
He said both men agreed to work together toward rebuilding the country and advancing the interests of Nigerians.
“We resolved to work together in the challenging task of reclaiming and rebuilding our beloved country for the greater good of our people,” he said.
The meeting comes amid ongoing consultations and political realignments within the opposition camp as leading political figures continue engagements across the country in preparation for future electoral contests.
Atiku and Hayatu-Deen are prominent figures within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which has been seeking to strengthen its position as political parties begin early preparations for upcoming elections.
