Sen Ali Modu Sheriff, former governor of Borno State, and his former aides were received by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday in Daura, Kastina State.
Sheriff and his former aides paid Sallah homage to President Buhari.
Following that, the APC chieftain met with President Buhari behind closed doors; the details of the meeting have not been disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
Sheriff’s visit to President Buhari in Daurs comes just days after APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu named former Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima as his running mate ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Despite opposition to the Muslim/Muslim ticket in 2023, Tinubu declared the lawmaker representing Borno Central senatorial district as APC vice-presidential candidate.
Some APC governors had paid a visit to the president in Daura, Kastina State, to express their support for the ticket and to pledge their support for the party in 2023.
Aminu Masari of Katsina State, Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, Abubakar Bello of Niger State, Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, Simon Lalong of Plateau State, and Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State were among the governors who paid President Buhari a visit on Monday.
Bagudu, the Governor of Kebbi State, stated after the meeting that Tinubu-presidency Shettima’s will complement President Buhari’s achievements over the last seven years.
