The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Thursday night, met with President Muhammadu Buhari in Katsina while on a two-day working visit to his home State.
Tinubu was accompanied to the meeting by Governors Aminu Masari (Katsina), Babagana Zulum (Borno) and Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi).
The APC governorship candidate in Katsina State, Dikko Umaru Radda, was also at the meeting.
The issues discussed at the meeting were not made public.
However, there are speculations that the meeting might not be unconnected with remarks credited to the former governor of Lagos State on the redesign of the Naira notes and the lingering petrol scarcity in the country, at a recent campaign rally.
The APC candidate had, during the party’s campaign rally held on Thursday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, said the redesign of the Naira notes orchestrated by “saboteurs” would not stop his march to victory in the February 25 election.
Several persons, especially his political opponents, have interpreted the statement as another jibe at the president who had not participated in the party’s campaign rallies since the beginning of the year.
The APC Presidential Campaign Council has invested spirited efforts to dismiss claims that Tinubu’s statement was aimed at Buhari.
