Tinubu, Atiku Hold Meeting Amid Brickbats Between Supporters (Video)
Amid brickbats between supporters, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rival, bumped into a brief and jovial meeting at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Monday.
The two senior politicians and past political allies who are also reportedly business partners exchanged pleasantries as they sat in the lounge of the Abuja airport.
Atiku was on his way to Lagos to deliver a lecture at the Lagos Business School on Tuesday, November 15. Tinubu was apparently also hiking his way to Jos for the APC’s campaign rally when they bumped into one another for the unexpected meeting at the airport.
Among those who were with the two presidential candidates were Senator Abdullahi Adamu, National Chairman of the APC and Mohammed Hayatudeen, a PDP Presidential aspirant. The video of the encounter between the two men was posted on Instagram by another former presidential aspirant turned adviser to Atiku, Dele Momodu.
GWG.NG reports that the meeting between the two men came within 24 hours that the PDP asked Tinubu to make his exit from the presidential contest on account of credibility issues arising from the $460,000 he forfeited to the US authorities on account of an investigation into a drug ring.
The jovial meeting between Atiku and Tinubu is despite the repeated brickbats between some of their most ferocious supporters, notably Senator Dino Melaye and Chief Femi Fani-Kayode who have gone personal against one another.
