Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar reportedly met privately with former Zamfara Governor and current Senator Abdulaziz Yari at his Abuja residence in a closed-door session that has left political observers buzzing. Neither leader spoke to journalists afterward, and no official explanation has been given.
The meeting has fueled speculation about possible political maneuvering ahead of the 2027 general elections. Yari, who lost his bid for the Senate Presidency following the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly, remains a prominent figure in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Political sources suggest the encounter may reflect ongoing behind-the-scenes consultations as parties and politicians position themselves for the next election cycle. “This is a political era, and there are alignments and realignments happening across the country. While no one has said this meeting was political, you cannot rule out anything,” one insider said on condition of anonymity.
As speculation grows, the secretive nature of the meeting highlights the uncertainty and strategic jockeying shaping Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of 2027.
