Rilwan Olanrewaju, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said the recent meeting between the former vice president Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, was a normal event in politics.
In an exclusive interview with TimesNow.com.ng, the PDP chieftain maintained that the media should not interpret the meeting between Atiku and Obi differently, adding that 2027 was still a long journey.
Olanrewaju posited that Nigerians are eager to see two like-minds working together to revive the country, adding that nothing is impossible in politics though, but opined that the meeting of Obi and Atiku was just two friends having a courtesy meeting.
He alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) spread most speculations about the meeting between the former PDP presidential candidate and his counterpart in the Labour Party.
His statement reads:
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, has reacted to the royal tussle between Muhammadu Sanusi and Aminu Ado Bayero in Kano.
The ex-PDP presidential candidates condemned the act of deploying the military on the matter, saying such would upset the peace and security in the state.
According to Atiku, President Bola Tinubu’s administration needs to be reminded that Kano is known for peace and security, and an attempt to destabilise it would be defended.
