In a significant show of loyalty and political camaraderie, former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, on Saturday, 5th April 2025, paid a Sallah homage to former President Muhammadu Buhari at his Kaduna residence.
The visit, which took place shortly after the Eid-el-Fitr prayers, was marked by warm greetings, heartfelt prayers, and mutual admiration between the two northern political titans. Senator Adamu, who served as APC chairman during a critical transition period in Nigerian politics, was seen exchanging pleasantries with Buhari, acknowledging the former president's enduring influence in the party and in national affairs.
The private meeting, sources say, lasted over an hour and focused on national unity, the future of the APC, and the state of the nation. Although no official statement was released after the meeting, political observers have interpreted the visit as a subtle signal of political alignment and a reaffirmation of old alliances, especially at a time when internal realignments are quietly taking shape ahead of future electoral contests.
Adamu's visit to Buhari's home is also seen as a gesture of respect and recognition of Buhari’s continued relevance in the socio-political dynamics of Northern Nigeria and the APC. The visit underscores the deep-rooted cultural tradition of Sallah homage and the enduring political symbolism such moments carry within the nation's power corridors.
As the country reflects on the values of peace, sacrifice, and unity during the Sallah celebration, this meeting between two influential figures reminds many of the enduring bonds that still shape Nigeria’s political landscape.
