Atiku Abubakar, Senator Ishaku Abbo
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Senator Ishaku Abbo, Senator Aishatu Binani, and some members of the All Progressives Congress are currently holding a coalition meeting in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
Atiku, who was the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, arrived at Yola International Airport in his private jet at 12:48 p.m.
He was received by Senator Abbo, after which his convoy proceeded to the American University of Nigeria Hotel, where the meeting is taking place.
A close aide to Adamawa APC governorship candidate, Senator Binani, confirmed to PUNCH Online that she is part of the coalition but could not disclose details of the meeting.
“Since you see me here, it is clear that my principal is among the team leaders. She is engaged at the moment, but at the next meeting, you will see her,” the aide, who declined to be named, said. (The PUNCH)
