President Bola Tinubu and perennial presidential hopeful, Atiku Abubakar, met in Abuja, on Friday, October 25.
Both gladiators, who used to be political allies, were meeting face-to-face for the first time since the 2023 presidential elections.
Although the meeting created a frenzy among worshippers at the national mosque, several people online, especially on X (formerly Twitter), criticised the presence of Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
