Our correspondent reports that Atiku went in straight into a closed door meeting with his former boss, which lasted for about one and half hours.
Atiku, who emerged from the meeting at about exactly 2:11pm, told newsmen that he came on a courtesy visit.
He, however, insisted that he would not speak on political issues after barrage of questions from newsmen.
“It’s just a courtesy visit, please. I am not going to talk about politics,” he said.
The former president candidate and some opposition parties’ leaders have been holding meetings over alleged plans to form a coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.
