Former Adamawa State Governor, Umar Jibrilla Bindow, has visited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja following his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Bindow’s visit comes shortly after his departure from the opposition party, placing the former governor’s political movements under renewed scrutiny ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The former Adamawa governor was received by Tinubu during a meeting at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.
Details of the discussion between the two politicians were not immediately made public.
However, the timing of the meeting has generated political interest, particularly because Bindow recently left the ADC amid growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections.
Bindow served as governor of Adamawa State from 2015 to 2019 on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His decision to join the ADC had positioned him within the opposition coalition seeking to challenge the ruling APC ahead of the next presidential election.
His subsequent exit from the party has therefore raised questions about his next political move.
The meeting with Tinubu has further fuelled speculation about whether Bindow could return to the ruling APC or support the President’s political ambitions ahead of 2027.
Neither Bindow nor the Presidency has publicly disclosed the specific issues discussed during the meeting.
The former governor remains an influential political figure in Adamawa, a state that is particularly significant in the calculations surrounding the 2027 presidential election.
The ADC has been positioning itself as a major opposition platform, while the APC continues to consolidate its political structure ahead of the next general elections.
Bindow’s latest engagement with Tinubu comes as politicians across the country increasingly reposition themselves ahead of the 2027 contest.
For now, there is no confirmed statement that Bindow has rejoined the APC following his meeting with the President.
