Atiku, who was a key opponent in last year’s election, has frequently criticized Tinubu’s administration. Just a day prior to their meeting, he took to Twitter to express concerns over the challenges faced by Nigerians, attributing some of these difficulties to what he termed “the trial-and-error policies of this bumbling administration.”
However, at the mosque, both leaders engaged in cordial pleasantries, showcasing a moment of unity amid their political rivalry.
