The visit to Buhari comes a few days after Atiku paid a similar visit to former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida and former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar, in Niger State.

Announcing the earlier visits in a post on X, Atiku had said, “Today, I paid Sallah homage to former Heads of State Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) and Gen. Abdusalami at their residences in Minna, Niger State.”

The visits have heightened speculations that Atiku is preparing grounds to contest the 2027 presidential election.

In May, Atiku had vowed to continue contesting for the presidency as long as he’s healthy.

He made the declaration amid moves to form a coalition with his counterpart from Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, and other political parties.
