This was disclosed by a former PDP presidential aspirant and a veteran journalist, Dele Momodu. Sharing a photograph of the trio via Twitter, Momodu wrote:
“JUST IN, @atiku, TINUBU and @iyorchiayu meet at the airport VVIP lounge in Abuja.” The camps of Tinubu and Atiku have been at loggerheads since last week as the race for the 2023 presidency heats up.
In another news, Freedom Atsepoyi, popularly known as Mr Jollof, Nigerian comedian, has switched from supporting the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
Jollof made this announcement switch in a video posted on his official Instagram page as he noted that he is ready to work with Atiku.

He said; “Atiku Abubakar, the Waziri of Adamawa your excellency, we will discuss on how we will invest in skill acquisition, human capital development and how we will make these people know that school no be scam, we need to eradicate these mentality.
“Ask Okowa when I appointed myself as the special adviser to the governor on general project, ask Okowa we worked smoothly, you can see the synergy. So Atiku, we need to work together towards this 2023 presidential ambition. Me and my papa don settle. If you no know my papa, my papa na senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa. So, I no be small meat person.
