Peter Obi was warmly welcomed by Atiku Abubakar during his visit to Adamawa State, also known as the “Land of Beauty.” The reunion marked a significant moment, as both leaders previously shared a ticket in the 2019 presidential election under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Obi, now a prominent figure in the Labour Party, attended Adamawa to deliver a keynote address at the American University of Nigeria and coincidentally joined celebrations for Atiku’s 78th birthday.
Atiku shared his appreciation for Obi’s visit on social media, referring to it as a privilege. Their meeting appeared cordial, with exchanges of pleasantries and smiles, signifying a potential effort at political reconciliation and collaboration. This occasion also drew interest due to its timing after their divergence in political paths following the 2019 elections.
