National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has opened up on the viral video of him meeting with former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar in Abuja.<\/p>\n
Tinubu said he only exchanged pleasantries with the former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the airport while cautioning Nigerians making an \u201cissue\u201d out of the meeting.<\/p>\n
Recall that the former Lagos State governor had met and exchanged pleasantries with Atiku, who had arrived from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), at the same time that Tinubu was within Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport premises in Abuja on Friday.<\/p>\n
Upon his arrival, Tinubu<\/a> had walked towards Atiku as he alighted from his vehicle and they exchanged pleasantries.<\/p>\n But some Nigerians while reacting to the exchange of pleasantries, cautioned others against trusting politicians.<\/p>\n However, Tinubu has asked those who are not happy that he greeted Atiku<\/a> to have a rethink because they are friends.<\/p>\n He made the remarks through his spokesman, Tunde Rahman.<\/p>\n In a tweet titled: \u201cOn the @AsiwajuTinubu @atiku Video at Abuja Airport,\u201d Rahman wrote: \u201cFormer Vice President @atiku had arrived first and was in his car about to leave when @AsiwajuTinubu arrived.<\/p>\n \u201cAs he was informed about him, @AsiwajuTinubu walked up to @atiku vehicle to exchange pleasantries with him.<\/p>\n \u201cThose making an issue out of this noble gesture should have a rethink. For the life of me, are they saying if two persons know each other and are friends, they must not greet each other as mature persons again because they find themselves in opposing political parties? If that\u2019s their thinking, this is a warped idea!\u201d<\/p>\n On the @AsiwajuTinubu<\/a> –@atiku<\/a> Video at Abuja Airport- — tunderahman (@tunderahmanu) May 29, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
