Atiku Abubakar, former vice president and one of the chieftains of the ruling party, has met with the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) John Odigie-Oyegun and other members of the National Working Committee.
The Vanguard reports that the meeting was behind closed doors at the national headquarters of the APC in Abuja.
Atiku was accompanied to the meeting by the Governor Muhammad Umar Jubrila of the Anambra state and his personal staff.
While the ex VP members of the APC rejected to speak about the meeting that continued for over 20 minutes, a source noted that it has to do with 2019 presidential election and Atiku’s comment on restructuring of Nigeria.
The insider, who pledged to be anonymous, stated that the party expressed concern over the story attributed to him on restructuring of Nigeria.
According to him, the leadership of the APC told him that they and the presidency were not happy with his position on restructuring.
He was told that such matter was what he would have suggested to the party or the presidency as an advice and not speak to the media on it.
Atiku called for a restructuring of the Nigerian federation to provide for the aspirations of its component units.
At the unveiling of a book, ‘We are all Biafrans,’ he said that such restructuring is the only answer to the current agitation for a Biafra Republic.
