Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has explained the purpose of his recent visit to fellow party chieftain and former presidential aspirant, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, saying their discussions centred on the state of the nation and efforts to strengthen the party ahead of future political engagements.
Gatekeepers News reports that Atiku disclosed this in a post on his X account on Sunday following a visit to Hayatu-Deen’s residence in Lagos.
According to the former vice president, the meeting provided an opportunity for both leaders to exchange views on national issues and the future direction of the ADC.
“Earlier today, I visited my brother and fellow aspirant in the ADC presidential primaries, Alhaji Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, at his residence in Lagos. Our discussions on the state of our nation and party were frank and productive,” Atiku stated.
He added that both men agreed on the need to work together in addressing the country’s challenges and advancing the party’s vision.
“We resolved to work together in the challenging task of reclaiming and rebuilding our beloved country for the greater good of our people,” he said.
The meeting comes amid ongoing consultations and political realignments within the opposition camp as key political figures intensify engagements ahead of future electoral contests.
Political observers view such consultations as part of broader efforts by opposition leaders to consolidate support and strengthen party structures in preparation for upcoming political activities.
Atiku and Hayatu-Deen are among prominent figures within the ADC and have played significant roles in shaping discussions around the party’s future as it seeks to position itself as a major force in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.
