Former Nigeria’s Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has claimed that he and former President Olusegun Obasanjo did not discuss any thing politics when they held a close door meeting today, January 10.
Atiku, who arrived at Obasanjo’s Abeokuta residence within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library at exactly 12:37 pm, was accompanied by former Governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke; former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aminu Tambuwal; and Senator Abdul Ningi, among others.
Atiku and his entourage were received at Obasanjo’s residence by elder statesman Oyewole Fasawe before proceeding upstairs for a private meeting with Obasanjo, which lasted approximately one and a half hours.

When asked whether the meeting was related to his 2027 presidential ambition, Atiku said: “I am here on a courtesy call. I am not here to talk politics.”
