Tinubu's Campaign DG AbdulAziz Yari Meets Atiku in Abuja
On October 8, 2026, AbdulAziz Yari, the director-general of President Bola Tinubu's campaign organization, met with former Vice President Atiku in Abuja. This encounter occurred during the Janaza, an Islamic funeral prayer for the late Nafi'u Baba Ahmed, where both men were present to pay their respects.
Atiku is the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the upcoming 2027 general elections, having been ratified for this role on May 29, 2026. The meeting between Yari and Atiku has drawn interest from political observers due to the ongoing rivalry between their respective camps.
However, no formal discussions between the two were reported beyond their attendance at the funeral. The gathering attracted various prominent political figures, marking it as a significant political event in Abuja.
