Atiku, Tambuwal, El-Rufai visit ex-president Buhari

Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president of Nigeria on Friday, April 11, visited the immediate past president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari at his residence in Kaduna State.

In a video shared by the 2023 presidential candidate for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on X, Atiku said he paid a post-Sallah visit to Buhari.

The video also captured other leaders including the former governors of Sokoto and Kaduna States, Aminu Tambuwal and Nasir El-Rufai.

It is, however, not clear whether the former vice president visited the home of Buhari in the company of the other politicians.

In his post, Atiku said the former President in his usual manner cracked them up with jokes during their time with him.

He wrote, “As the Waziri Adamawa, I was obligated to be in my 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,” Atiku stated.
