Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar yesterday, November 14, settled two chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), who had been fighting cold war for some time now.
Atiku settled the quarrel between the national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu and the Senate President Bukola Saraki during his three daughters' wedding ceremony.
The duo have been strange bed fellows immediately after the party emerged victorious in the last general election that ushered in the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, The Cable reported.
Their differences began after Saraki defied the leadership of the APC in his pursuit to lead the senate. Not until yesterday the duo have not been in talking terms and the last time they were seen together in public was during the buildup to the general election.
The senate president was quoted to have said: “Most Nigerians are aware that there has been no meeting or communication between me and Asiwaju Tinubu since I was elected Senate President.”
However, being guests of the ex-vice president, Saraki and Tinubu had no option than to seat close to each other at the wedding ceremony of Atiku's daughters in Yola yesterday.
Principal fficers of the green chambers was also at the ceremony.
As stated by reports, prior to now, the one-time Governor of Lagos State did not cede Saraki the opportunity to settle their differences whenever such presented itself. It was reported that the national leader last month ruled out any form of reconciliation with the two-time senator.
However, no one can tell if the verbal war between the two leaders will be halted following this weekend's function but all fingers are crossed as we look forward to a better relationship between them.
