The move has, however, been described as a show of unity amid growing political pressures on opposition parties in Nigeria.
The visit, which took place shortly after the staged protests, sought to address what both parties described as “targeted attacks on democratic space” and to strengthen collaboration ahead of the 2027 elections.

“Your Excellency, we take care to visit the leadership of the APC. In a solidarity visit, we have seen what has been happening within the political space,” Makinde said.
He added:
“The protest today reflects the need to safeguard democratic space. Thank you very much for joining us.”
The PDP delegation comprised notable figures including Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN; Sen. Adolphus Wabara, GCON; Prof. Jerry Gana; Babangida Aliyu; Amb. Taofeek Arapaja; Hajiya Inna Ciroma; Gen. Ishaya Bamayi; Rt. Hon. Fred Agbedi; and Comrade Ini Ememobong.

In their response, the ADC leadership thanked the PDP for the visit and reiterated concerns over the challenges facing opposition parties in the country.
“We appreciate the solidarity of the PDP as we face existential threats to democracy. The weakening of major opposition parties threatens political plurality, and we must continue to engage in defence of democratic values and institutions," the ADC leadership said.
Focus on collaboration ahead of 2027 elections
Both parties affirmed the importance of continuous engagement to protect Nigeria’s democratic framework, with leaders underscoring the need to remain united in the face of pressures capable of undermining electoral fairness.
The solidarity visit, captured in a video circulating on social media, has been interpreted by political analysts as a strategic move to consolidate opposition alliances ahead of the 2027 electoral cycle.
