Atiku visits APC’s Binani in Abuja

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s unexpected visit to Aishatu Dahiru, popularly known as Binani, has set the political landscape abuzz.

The private meeting, which took place at her Abuja residence on Monday, marks their first direct engagement since the 2023 general elections.

Binani was the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Adamawa State during the polls.

The visit has fueled widespread speculation, with political analysts suggesting it could signal potential realignments ahead of the 2027 elections.

During the 2023 elections, Atiku, a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), actively supported Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, who secured re-election.

However, this recent meeting with Binani has raised questions about whether Atiku is considering backing her in future political contests. Given his significant influence in Adamawa politics, any candidate he supports is expected to have a competitive edge.

Observers are keenly watching for further developments, as this unexpected engagement hints at strategic maneuvers that may reshape political alliances in the state and beyond ahead of the 2027 elections.
