APC Dismisses Obasanjo, Atiku Meeting as No Threat Ahead of 2027 Election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the recent meeting between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar as inconsequential to its political standing.

The gathering, which took place at Obasanjo’s residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, also included former Governors Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and Liyel Imoke of Cross River State.

The group arrived at Obasanjo’s residence in Abeokuta, situated within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, at precisely 12:37 p.m., where they were welcomed by elder statesman Otunba Oyewole Fasawe.

Atiku, who led the delegation, described the visit as a courtesy call, stating, “I am here on a courtesy call. I am not here to talk about politics.” However, sources suggest that the meeting may be linked to Atiku’s potential presidential ambitions for the 2027 election.

The rumors were further confirmed by a source, who stated, “Yes, we are trying to see how we can collectively work together to salvage this country ahead of 2027.”

In response, APC National Secretary Senator Ajibola Basiru labeled the meeting as a gathering of “indolent and lazy” politicians. He emphasized that the APC is focused on governance and upcoming electoral contests, particularly the November 8 governorship election in Anambra State.

“We don’t react to other people’s acts as a political party. We only do our own things. Presently, our plate is full. We are personally concentrating on how to win and bring Anambra on board for the APC. So, we don’t have time for talks at any political meetings,” Basiru stated.

“They (Atiku and Obasanjo) are indolent; they don’t have anything to do. So, they can meet any day, any time. Our government is concentrating on delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu. We don’t have an issue with some indolent people meeting anybody they want to meet.”

He further dismissed any notion of the meeting posing a threat to the APC, asserting, “How can people who are in disarray be a threat to a solid political party like the APC? We are talking about a party that is not embedded in any crisis and has high-caliber people who can win elections.”
