Tunde Rahman, who is the spokesperson of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has said there is nothing wrong with the meeting between his principal and the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Tinubu, in a viral video, was seen exchanging pleasantries with Atiku, a Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in the 2019 elections.
Atiku returned to the country after months of his stay outside Nigeria.
Many Nigerians have expressed their surprise at the meeting of the two political icons who belonged to different political parties in the country.
Rahman in his reaction on the meeting wrote on his verified Twitter handle, “On the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu – Alhaji Atiku Abubakar video at Abuja Airport. It was a chance meeting at the airport in Abuja. Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar had arrived first and was in his car about to leave when Asiwaju arrived.
“As he was informed about him, Asiwaju walked up to Atiku vehicle to exchange pleasantries with him.
“Those making an issue out of this noble gesture should have a rethink. For the life of me, are they saying if two persons know each other and are friends, they must not greet each other as mature persons again because they find themselves in opposing political parties? If that’s their thinking, this is a warped idea!”
