Breaking: Top APC Governor Opens Up on Secret Meeting Atiku
The Nasarawa State Government has denied the claim that Governor Abdullahi Sule met with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, during the performance of the lesser Hajj. It was alleged that the governor pledged to finance the move to sack President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
However, Ibrahim Addra, the chief press secretary to Governor Sule, in a statement on Friday, March 27, said that the report is “a complete fabrication, false in its entirety, and did not happen.”

According to the statement, the governor did not hold any meeting with the former vice president or any of his associates during his period in the holy land.
The statement further noted that Governor Sule has used every available platform to extol President Bola Tinubu's leadership qualities and reiterated his support for his administration.
Addra then accused some political actors of plotting to sabotage the relationship between the governor and President Tinubu and expressed the confidence that such a move would fail.
He maintained that the spokesperson of the former vice president, Paul Ibe, said he was not aware of such a meeting. The government added that all the APC governors are fully supporting President Tinubu and that no false report can affect that loyalty.
The statement has started generating reactions from Nigerians. Below are some of their comments:
