The political stalwarts who visited the former president’s residence included: former Minister of Communications, Isa Pantami; former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami; former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai; former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswan; and former Adamawa Governor, Jibrilla Bindow.
In a post on X dated Friday, April 11, the 2023 presidential candidate was elated to have visited the former president, who offered them a warm reception amidst humor and pleasantries exchanged.
โAs the Waziri Adamawa, I was obligated to be in my Adamawa during the Sallah celebrations. I held forth for the Lamido Fombina (Adamawa) in some of the activities of the Sallah celebrations. Today, I had the opportunity to pay a post-Sallah visit to His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2015-2023. It was a wonderful time with him. As usual, he cracked me up (to the extent that my ribs were hurting) with his peculiar humour.โ
