A former Vice President and African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is holding a closed-door meeting with his rival, Hayatu-Deen, at his Lagos residence in what is being seen as a reconciliation effort following the party’s presidential primary.
According to Channels Television on Sunday, the meeting comes days after Atiku emerged as the ADC’s presidential candidate and was presented with the party flag after being declared winner of the primary.
The development follows discontent among some aspirants over the conduct of the exercise.
Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and Hayatu-Deen had rejected the outcome of the primary, alleging manipulation of the voting process. Hayatu-Deen had also said he would not attend the announcement of the result.
