The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has paid a visit to businessman Mohammed Hayatu-Deen at his residence in Lagos.
Hayatu-Deen finished third in the party’s recently concluded presidential primary election.
The meeting comes as part of Atiku’s ongoing reconciliation tour to unite the party ahead of the 2027 general election. It follows a similar visit on Thursday, where Atiku visited his runner-up and former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, at his Abuja residence.
Following his meeting with Amaechi, Atiku revealed that the discussions centered on party cohesion and national recovery.
Atiku wrote on social media: “This afternoon, I visited my brother and compatriot, former Governor of Rivers State and ex-Minister of Transportation, Chief Rotimi Amaechi, at his Abuja residence.
Beyond the warmth and camaraderie, we had deep and honest conversations about the troubling state of our nation, the growing economic pain, insecurity, and the urgent responsibility on patriotic Nigerians to continue engaging in the search for solutions that can rescue our country from drift and despair.
“I also felicitated with him on the occasion of his birthday yesterday and teased that Arsenal’s historic triumph could not have arrived at a better time. Chief Amaechi, a thoroughly well-loaded Gunner, took the banter in very good spirits.
“In true Rivers hospitality, he apologised for not having enough time to prepare Fisherman Soup, a delicacy I have now been promised on our return for the second leg 😃. -AA”
