Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has met with the National Chairman of the Action Democratic Party, ADP Yabagi Yusuf Sani, and other senior executives.

The meeting reportedly took place on Saturday at Atiku’s residence in Abuja.

The meeting is coming on the heels of rumours of an alliance between some opposition figures ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

There are rumours that former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi and his Kano State counterpart, Rabiu Kwankwaso may get the African Democratic Congress, ADC, ticket to challenge President Bola Tinubu.

The move may not favour Atiku, who is also eyeing the ADC presidential ticket.

However, the ADP National Chairman, Yabagi Yusuf said the meeting with Atiku was not about a merger with any party.

He also stated that the engagement was not about recruiting any individual into the ADP.
