It was all smiles and laughter as President Bola Tinubu and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar met at the National Mosque in Abuja, on Friday, October 25, 2024.
According to Presidential Spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, the duo who went head to head in last year’s election met at the wedding of Senator Danjuma Goje’s daughter.
Onanuga wrote on his X account: “President Tinubu meets old friend Atiku Abubakar at the National Mosque. It was at the Jumat and wedding of the daughter of Senator Danjuma Goje. Photo Taiwo Okanlawon,” without providing further details.
Atiku, who lost the election to Tinubu, has been very critical of the president and his policies and even labeled his administration’s handling of the country as T-Pain in a very recent post.
However, both men momentarily set politics aside while exchanging pleasantries at the mosque.
Other dignitaries in attendance were the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State. Two former senate president, former and serving governors and many more political heavy weights. They all put aside their political differences and share in the moment of joy and happiness the wedding fathia ignited among the guests.
