Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar held a private meeting with former rival Hayatu-Deen following the ADC presidential contest.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has held a private meeting with fellow African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential aspirant Hayatu-Deen at his Lagos residence.
The closed-door discussion comes shortly after the party’s presidential primary, which saw Atiku emerge as the ADC presidential candidate.
Although details of the meeting were not immediately disclosed, the engagement is being viewed as part of efforts to strengthen internal unity within the party following the primary contest.
Hayatu-Deen was among the contenders who participated in the race for the ADC presidential ticket alongside other aspirants. The meeting therefore arrives at a moment when attention remains fixed on how the party intends to consolidate support ahead of future political contests.
The discussion also reflects the importance of post-primary consultations within political parties, particularly after competitive nomination exercises that often leave parties with the task of rebuilding consensus among key stakeholders.
Neither Atiku nor Hayatu-Deen publicly released details of the conversation as of the time of reporting.
