The presidential candidate of the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has arrived the Abeokuta home of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Abubakar, who recently emerged PDP candidate, hopes to earn the backing of Obasanjo for his presidential aspiration.
Abubakar was the vice president when Obasanjo governed Nigeria between 1999 and 2007. Both men, however, fell out; with Obasanjo vowing never to support Abubakar’s presidential ambition.
Premium Times reports that on Thursday, the former vice president arrived the home of Obasanjo at about 1:12 p.m. He was accompanied on the visit by the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, and the director general of the Atiku campaign organisation, Gbenga Daniel.
They then went into a closed-door meeting with Obasanjo which was still on as at press time.
