Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday afternoon arrived at the private hilltop residence of former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd), in Minna, the Niger State capital.
Atiku was said to have arrived at the residence shortly after 1pm before proceeding directly into a closed-door meeting with his host.
Sources familiar with the meeting disclosed that discussions centred on electoral reforms, particularly the electronic transmission of election results, as well as new tax laws and other national matters.
The consultation was described as strategic, coming amid ongoing public debate on electoral credibility ahead of the 2027 general elections.
About 40 minutes after Atiku’s arrival, Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, reportedly joined the meeting, further fuelling speculation about the political significance of the talks.
Neither Atiku nor Gvernor Makinde was immediately available to comment on the purpose or outcome of the meeting.
It was gathered that either Atiku or General Babangida may address journalists following the closed-door session. As of the time of filing this report, the meeting was still ongoing and further details were awaited.
