The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ajibola Basiru, has mocked former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, over a viral photo showing him apparently asleep during the opposition summit held in Ibadan, Oyo State.
It was reports that the Ibadan meeting, held on Saturday, brought together prominent opposition leaders seeking to build a united front ahead of the 2027 general elections.
It was attended by former Senate President, David Mark; former Minister of Information, Professor Jerry Gana; Aisha Yesufu; Professor Pat Utomi; and a former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung.
Others are former governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola; former governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal; former governor of Kano, Rabiu Kwankwanso; former governor of Kwara State, Abdulfatai Ahmed; former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amechi; former governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, among others.
Reacting to the development, Basiru took to his 𝕏 handle to share an image showing Atiku appearing to be asleep during the session.
He captioned the post, “And the opposition leader slept at the all-important opposition summit.”
The APC chieftain also used the same image to respond to claims on social media suggesting that the ruling party had become unsettled by the opposition’s move to unite behind a single presidential candidate.
The Ibadan summit forms part of ongoing consultations among opposition figures aimed at forging a stronger alliance to challenge the ruling party in 2027.
