Atiku Abubakar, a frontline presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has refuted claims that he was’shunned’ by Governor Seyi Makinde during his weekend visit to Oyo State in continuation of consultations for his 2023 presidential bid.
Following his meeting with PDP delegates in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, a prominent daily, not InsightnaijaTV, claimed on Sunday that the former vice president was ignored by Governor Makinde “despite the Turaki’s itinerary showing he was to meet with the governor.”
According to the source, Makinde’s alleged cold shouldering of Atiku was linked to the governor’s apparent support for Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike’s presidential bid.
Atiku, however, responded through his media, Paul Ibe, saying the reports were incorrect.
Ibe shared photos that show Atiku exchanging pleasantries with Makinde, saying “Reports from a section of the media that H.E Gov Seyi Makinde shunned H.E Atiku Abubakar during his consultative tour of Oyo State are not true.”

He added, “The two leaders met on Sunday morning before Atiku departed Ibadan to Osogbo, and they had a good meeting focused on building unity for both their party, the Peoples Democratic Party and Nigeria as a country.”
On Saturday, Atiku met with PDP delegates in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
Following the encounter, the presidential aspirant wrote on Facebook: “Today, the PDP family in Oyo State proved a point about Ibadan being the political capital of the West. My appreciation goes to all the leaders and members of our great party, especially Gov Makinde, for creating the enabling environment for me to meet with the PDP delegates in the state. I am also immensely thankful to the good people of Ibadan for their innate public display of affection for me and my delegation. God bless you all dearly.”
Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
