Although the purpose of Atiku’s visit to IBB is not yet made public, speculations are that the visit could be part of steps taken by the former VP to garner support for his political ambition under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, platform.

Recall that Atiku had, last week, officially decamped to PDP from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, party, after citing marginalization and the turning of APC to President Buhari’s private business.
