Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar visited former Sokoto State governor, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, at his Abuja residence following Tambuwal’s release from EFCC custody.
Truth Live News reports that the visit came after Tambuwal’s detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Tambuwal, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, was detained by the EFCC over alleged financial impropriety during his tenure as Sokoto governor.
His arrest and questioning have generated mixed reactions across the country, with party members, especially the African Democratic Congress, ADC, describing it as politically motivated.
Meanwhile, Atiku, in a post on X, expressed relief over Tambuwal’s wellbeing, saying, “I visited Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal at his residence in Abuja earlier today. I am happy seeing him in good, unbroken, and unwavering spirit.”
