Rauf Aregbesola, the former governor of Osun State, and former vice president Atiku Abubakar met on Friday.
In his Osun State apartment, former ally of President Bola Tinubu, Aregbesola gave the former leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) a gift.
On his X page, Atiku uploaded a video of the meeting.
Atiku wrote in the post, “Breakfast time at Engr. Rauf Aregbesola’s residence.”
Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup, the 49th Owa Obokun and Paramount Ruler of Ijesaland, were in Ilesa just hours before the ceremony.

Although it’s unclear why Atiku and Aregbesola went to the same place, it might not have been in keeping with his presidential campaign strategy for 2027, in which case President Tinubu is running for re-election for a second term.
Aregbesola and Tinubu have a long-standing friendship, but their relationship suffered as a result of the election’s preparations for the 2023 presidential election.
An opposition coalition aimed at removing Tinubu from power in 2027 is being spearheaded by Atiku.
On Tuesday night, the former Vice President met with Nasir El-Rufai, a former governor of Kaduna State, and former Labour Party candidate Peter Obi, a former governor of the state.
