Two former vice presidents, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Namadi Sambo, on Friday paid a courtesy visit to former Minister of Interior and ex-Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, at his country home in Ilesa, Osun State
The visit came just hours before the coronation of the 49th Owa Obokun and Paramount Ruler of Ijesaland, Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup.
A video shared by Atiku on his X handle captured the moment he drove into Aregbesola’s residence, where he was warmly received. Both men were later seen walking into the house, flanked by their supporters.
“Breakfast time at the residence of former Governor of Osun State, Engr Rauf Aregbesola,” Atiku wrote in the caption.
The gathering attracted several notable Osun political figures, including former APC state chairman Lowo Adebiyi, Chairman of Omoluabi Progressives Alhaji Azeez Adesiji, former Secretary to the State Government Moshood Adeoti, and ex-Speaker of the House of Assembly Najeem Salaam.
Atiku’s visit is seen as part of broader moves by opposition leaders to strengthen alliances ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Earlier, Atiku also posted about his arrival at the Akure Airport in Ondo State, saying: “I was warmly received by stakeholders on arrival at the Akure Airport in Ondo State, ahead of the coronation of the 49th HRH Owa Obokun Adimula and Paramount Ruler of Ijesaland, Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup today.”
