Atiku, Tinubu Meet at Akure Airport

In what could be described as a historic chanced meeting, former Vice President and leading PDP Presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar and former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu met at the Akure airport on Monday.

Atiku, who was on his way to Ekiti State on a Working visit ran into Bola Tinubu, who was apparently with some  leaders of the rival All Progressive Congress, including the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu to strategize on the coming Ekiti State governorship elections. Both leaders  had very healthy chats amidst laughter at the airport.

Waziri Atiku Abubakar’s PDP team comprises former Governor of Ogun State and Director-General of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation,

Otunba Gbenga Daniel; former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi; Alhaji Yaya Abubakar;  Adamu Abubakar, while on the Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s APC team was Governor Rotimi  Akeredolu of Ondo State; Kashim Imam and Pius Akinyelure.

Speculation is rife in certain quarters that there may be a defection of some aggrieved members of the ruling APC into the PDP and Atiku’s credential as a politician with a broad network across all major political parties will come into bear into the emerging political realignment
