The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, and the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, members have visited former President Muhammadu Buhari at his residence in Kaduna State.
Media Talk Africa reports that the visit took place on Friday, a few hours after opposition leaders met with the former president.
Recall that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar had earlier on Friday led a delegation, including Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna; Aminu Tambuwal, former governor of Sokoto; and Isa Pantami, former minister of communications, to Buhari’s residence.
Speaking to journalists after the visit, El-Rufai had urged “adversaries” not to lose sleep, saying the visit was not political.
At the time of filing this report, the outcome of the APC NWC’s visit remains undisclosed.
The meeting comes a few days after Buhari welcomed a delegation of APC governors led by Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo State.
According to Uzodimma, the chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, their visit was to deliver Sallah greetings and congratulate Buhari on the successful conclusion of the Ramadan fast.
In recent times, there have been growing concerns about the possible departure of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, faction from the APC.
Media Talk Africa reports that the CPC was one of the four political parties that merged in 2013 to create the APC, with Buhari being a member of the CPC faction.
Despite the speculations, Buhari has affirmed that he would never abandon the APC.
