Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, former Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, and former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal have paid former President Muhammadu Buhari a visit at his Kaduna home.

Other politicians who paid a visit to Buhari on Friday included former Communications Minister Isa Pantami, former Imo State Governor Achike Udenwa, former Benue State Governor Senator Gabriel Suswam, and former Adamawa State Governor Jibrilla Bindow, according to a video.

On Friday, Atiku revealed the visit on his verified X Twitter, calling it a “wonderful time” spent 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.”

He did not disclose the details of the meeting’s agenda and its outcome.
