In what observers describe as a high-stakes midnight strategy session, Nigeria’s political landscape witnessed fresh intrigue as former Vice President and ADC coalition leader, Atiku Abubakar, convened a closed-door meeting that stretched into the early hours of Thursday, September 11, 2025.
The meeting, which former Senator Ishaku Abbo disclosed lasted until 1:30am, drew heavyweights including Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed (Binani), former Adamawa State Governor Jibrilla Bindow, and other undisclosed political stakeholders.
Taking to social media after the session, Abbo openly reaffirmed his loyalty to Atiku, hailing him as “Baba with capacity.”
> “We support you, Baba, with capacity, Atiku Abubakar. May God guide you, Waziri. We are in support of you,” Abbo declared, leaving no doubts about where his allegiance lies.
Though the details of their deliberations remain tightly under wraps, insiders suggest the agenda revolved around strategies to strengthen the emerging ADC coalition and lay the groundwork for a formidable campaign machinery ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Political analysts say the unusual timing of the meeting underscores its urgency, fueling speculations about possible alliances, recalibrations, and new power blocs being forged in Adamawa and beyond.
With the 2027 elections inching closer, last night’s marathon meeting may prove to be a defining moment in Nigeria’s unfolding political drama.
