Tunde Rahman, Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu, has emphasized the need for politics to be free of bitterness.
Rahman made the remark in response to Tinubu’s meeting with the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, at the National Mosque in Abuja.
The meeting, which took place during the Jumat prayer and wedding ceremony of Senator Danjuma Goje’s daughter, was also attended by key political figures.
Among them were the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Mohammed Bala, Senator Ali Ndume (Borno South), and former APC National Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff.
Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed the event, saying: “President Tinubu meets old friend and political opponent Atiku Abubakar at the National Mosque.
It was at the Jumat and wedding of the daughter of Senator Danjuma Goje.”
Rahman echoed the sentiment in a post on X (formerly Twitter), noting the significance of the encounter: “President Tinubu meets former VP Atiku, his main opponent in the last presidential election. Politics should be devoid of bitterness.”
The meeting has drawn public interest, highlighting the importance of fostering unity across political divides.
