Former Vice President Abubakar Atiku is leaving no stone unturned in his quest to become the official flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election.
To this end, Atiku on Thursday held a closed door meeting with the former military president Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (retd) at his hilltop mansion in Minna, Niger State.
The former vice president was received at the Minna Airport by the Deputy Governor of Niger State, Ahmed Ketso, the Head of Service, Yabagi Sule and the State PDP Chairman, Barrister Tanko Beji and other party members.
Also on ground to receive him was a crowd of supporters.
He arrived Babangida’s residence at 12.40pm.
PMNEWS reports that Atiku resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) last week and pitched tent with the PDP on Sunday.
As part of his consultations to bag the party’s presidential ticket, Atiku has been meeting with PDP leaders across the length and breath of Nigeria.
