Atiku, El-Rufai, Tambuwal Visit Buhari Amid 2027 Election Talks

As the political atmosphere ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general election gradually intensifies, former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election, Atiku Abubakar, visited former President Muhammadu Buhari at his Kaduna residence. He was accompanied by former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, and former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal.

In a post on X, Atiku described the post-Sallah visit as “wonderful,” adding that Buhari, as usual, made him laugh so hard that his ribs hurt.

“Today, I had the opportunity to pay a post-Sallah visit to His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2015–2023,” he wrote.

A video shared by Atiku showed other politicians present during the visit, including former Minister of Communications, Isa Pantami; former Imo State Governor, Achike Udenwa; former Benue State Governor, Senator Gabriel Suswam; and former Adamawa State Governor, Jibrilla Bindow, among others.
