Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde held a private meeting with former military ruler, General Ibrahim Babangida, in Minna on Tuesday. The discussion reportedly took place behind closed doors, and no details of the talks have been officially disclosed.

The meeting drew attention from political observers, given the influential roles of the attendees in Nigeria’s political landscape. Atiku, a key opposition figure, and Makinde, a prominent governor, are both seen as strategic voices in shaping policy and party dynamics.

Although the agenda of the meeting remains confidential, sources suggest that the discussion may have focused on national political strategies and ongoing preparations for upcoming elections. The session lasted for several hours, reflecting the importance of the conversation.

Observers note that such closed-door consultations are common among Nigerian political leaders seeking alignment, consensus, or guidance from experienced figures like Babangida. Both Atiku and Makinde left the venue without making public comments.
