Unity in Diversity: Tinubu And Atiku Setting The Record Straight

-


Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubarkar were found  together  exchanging views recently. No wonder, it is said in politics , there is no permanent friend but permanent interest. If at all, there was any need to set themselves ablaze as arc rival or opposition, this should have being the best moment to lynch themselves beyond recognition. The reverse is however , the case in the gathering of these political Titans !

Bola and Atiku ran into each other at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu was on his way to Minna, Niger State to receive an honorary doctorate degree from IBB university in Lapal, while former Vice President was on his way to Kaduna for a wedding.
They were flanked by Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.
Without mincing word, let’s put political record straight like this , there is unity in diversity. Period !
