A former presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the wife of former President Muhammadu Buhari, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, have met in Saudi Arabia.
Atiku disclosed the meeting in a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday, saying that he hosted the former First Lady, her daughter Hanan, and other members of the Buhari family during their visit to him.
According to the former Vice President, both families are currently in Saudi Arabia to perform the lesser hajj (Umrah).
The Umrah pilgrimage is often undertaken by Muslims for spiritual reflection and prayers, especially during moments of personal loss.
“I was honoured to host Hajiya Aisha Buhari, wife of former President Muhammadu Buhari, her daughter Hanan, and other family members during their visit to me in Saudi Arabia,” Atiku wrote.
He added, “Like me, the former First Lady and her family are in the Kingdom on a lesser hajj.”
The visit is significant as it is Mrs Buhari’s first known travel to Saudi Arabia since the passing of her husband, former President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2025.
The meeting between the former vice president and the former first lady has also attracted public attention due to their prominent roles in Nigeria’s political history, though the encounter was described as a private and cordial visit centred on religious devotion rather than politics.
