LAGOS — Former Vice President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Sunday held a closed-door meeting with his former rival, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, at his residence in Lagos as part of ongoing reconciliation efforts within the party.

Sources according to Channelstv, said the meeting is connected to attempts to unite aggrieved aspirants following the party’s recently concluded presidential primary ahead of the 2027 general election.

Hayatu-Deen is expected to address journalists after the meeting.

The engagement comes days after the ADC presidential primary in which Atiku emerged as the party’s flag bearer. Hayatu-Deen and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, were also contenders in the race.
