Former First Lady Aisha Buhari has paid a visit to former Vice President and African Democratic Congress presidential candidate for the 2027 election, Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku disclosed the meeting in a post on his X account on Wednesday, describing the visit as warm and appreciated.
He said the meeting also underscored the responsibility of those seeking a better Nigeria to place the welfare and future of citizens at the centre of their efforts.
“Today, I was delighted to receive former First Lady, H.E. Aisha Buhari. Her visit was warm and deeply appreciated,” Atiku wrote.
The former Vice President said the visit came amid growing economic pressures on households across the country.
According to him, Nigerians are facing increasing costs of basic necessities, including food, transportation, education and healthcare.
He said the situation had reinforced the need for leaders seeking to improve the country to focus on measures that would ease the burden on citizens.
Atiku said Nigerians deserved an economy that rewards hard work, creates opportunities and enables families to live with dignity and hope.
He added that achieving such an economy would require collective efforts to reduce economic hardship and restore confidence among citizens.
“That is the Nigeria we must build together, a country that works for its people again. We must ease the burden, restore hope and make Nigeria Affordable Again,” he said.
