Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress chieftains, met to discuss the formation of an inclusive government that would take care of the various political interests within the party.
The Punch reported on April 2, Thursday, in Abuja that the two officials began the process of consultations with those who contested in the party’s presidential primaries.
Tinubu, the APC national leader, was said to have paid a private visit to Atiku, Nigeria’s former vice president, at his residence.
The two politicians met behind closed doors and the details of their conversation were not made public.
However, the seniors are believed to have reached an agreement to ensure that all nominees for cabinet positions must meet strict guidelines to complement the high standard set by the president-elect.

A source from the APC, who pleaded for anonymity, disclosed:
“What do you expect? Our party is proactive and we want to hit the ground running by ensuring that rough edges are ironed out in good time.
“The party is run with a lot of consultations. So, it is not unusual that our leader met with another respected leader of our party privately. I do not have details of what was discussed but I have no doubt it is nothing less than how to move our dear nation forward.”
Official comments on the issue could not be obtained.
