President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar recently met at the National Mosque in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, during Jumat prayers.

The occasion was also a wedding ceremony for Senator Danjuma Goje’s daughter, and it brought together other prominent figures, including APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed, and former Borno Governor Ali Modu Sheriff.

According to presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, Atiku is an old friend of President Tinubu, and their meeting was a friendly encounter.

This meeting, TRIBUNE ONLINE gathered, is significant, especially considering their history as opponents in the 2023 election.

However, as some observers noted, it’s not surprising, given their long-standing acquaintance and the fact that they move in the same social circles.

The event highlights the complexities of Nigerian politics, where former rivals can put aside their differences and come together in social and religious settings. As one commentator put it, “Life itself is bigger than politics”.
