Former First Lady Aisha Buhari has visited former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum.
Atiku disclosed the visit in a statement on Wednesday, describing his meeting with the former First Lady as a warm and appreciated encounter.
“Today, I was delighted to receive former First Lady, H.E. Aisha Buhari,” Atiku said.
He said the visit also highlighted what he described as the responsibility of political leaders and other stakeholders to prioritise the welfare of Nigerians.
“Beyond the courtesies of the occasion, it was also a reminder of the urgent responsibility before all who seek a better Nigeria: to put the welfare, dignity and future of our people first,” he added.
Atiku used the occasion to raise concerns about the economic pressures facing households across the country, citing the rising costs of food, transportation, education and healthcare.
He said Nigerians deserved an economy that would reward hard work, create opportunities and enable families to live with dignity and hope.
“Across our country, families are being stretched by the rising cost of food, transport, education, healthcare and other basic necessities,” he said.
The former Vice-President said addressing the economic challenges should remain central to efforts to build a better Nigeria.
“Nigerians deserve an economy that rewards hard work, restores opportunity and allows every family to live with dignity and hope. That is the Nigeria we must build together, a country that works for its people again,” he said.
Atiku concluded by calling for measures to reduce the economic burden on Nigerians, stating: “We must ease the burden, restore hope and Make Nigeria Affordable Again.”
The meeting comes as political realignments and consultations intensify ahead of the 2027 elections, with political parties and prominent figures positioning themselves for the next electoral cycle.
