President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday met with former Defence Minister, Mohammed Badaru, at Presidential Villa.
The meeting marked Badaru’s first visit since leaving office, but details were not disclosed.
NAN gathered discussions may have centred on evolving political dynamics in Jigawa ahead of 2027 elections.
The visit also appeared to dispel speculation about Badaru’s alleged plans to defect from APC.
Badaru, a two-term former governor of Jigawa, resigned from Federal Executive Council in December 2025 after serving in cabinet.
Also received by President was former APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, as part of ongoing political consultations.
The series of meetings underscores need for national cohesion and political realignments ahead of 2027 general elections. (NAN)
