2023: Reactions as Tinubu receives Atiku at airport as ex-VP returns from Dubai

Nigerians have reacted to the alleged romance of All Progressives Congress, APC, national leader, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu with Ex-Vice President and presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2019 election, Abubakar Atiku ahead of the 2023 general elections as the APC leader is believed to be nursing ambition to succeed President Buhari in 2023.

There was mixed reactions over the emergence of the pictures of APC leader receiving the PDP chieftain at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja.

Tinubu, it was gathered, welcomed Atiku, back into Nigeria on the evening of Friday, May 28.

The former Lagos state governor and Atiku are very good friends and both men were foundational members of the APC until the former defected to the opposition PDP in order to pursue his presidential ambition.

Their new romance elicited a lot of mixed reactions on social media.

See some of the reactions below:

@OnifadeAfees wrote; “Tinubu is just seeking for ways to get to sit of power.”

@Okomisojoe wrote; “Tinubu has a way of aligning with the future politically.”

@kunle2405 wrote; “Definitely, Tinubu has sensed that APC won’t give him their ticket, therefore, looking for soft landing elsewhere! He might want to coerce @atiku as to form another party like they did in 2014 only that Atiku that I know is wiser now.”
