A former deputy chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has slammed the party's 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for visiting former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Even though Atiku claimed the visit was a Sallah homage, political analysts couldn't help but link it to his 2027 presidential ambition.

Reacting, George slammed Atiku for meeting with Buhari whom the PDP fielded him against in 2019 and 2023.

He told Arise TV, “Look at general Buhari shaking hands with these guys. Is he a member of our party? We presented you against him, and he flopped you like a little kid, and then you are running there. And if you look at the congregation of those who visited Buhari, they are all from one side, who are the others from our party? No, it’s not done that way. In fact, my conclusion was, What is this man trying to do with this mega party? Is he trying to divide Nigeria from the north and then the south?
