A former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has opened up on what his rival for the African Democratic Congress presidential ticket, Rotimi Amaechi told him when he visited the former governor of Rivers State at his residence in Abuja on Thursday.
Atiku, who won the ticket that Amaechi said was rigged, said the former minister apologised for not preparing Fisherman Soup ahead of his arrival.
He said Amaechi had promised that the delicacy would be ready whenever he came back to visit him again
He said, “This afternoon, I visited my brother and compatriot, former Governor of Rivers State and ex-Minister of Transportation, Chief Rotimi Amaechi, at his Abuja residence.
“Beyond the warmth and camaraderie, we had deep and honest conversations about the troubling state of our nation, the growing economic pain, insecurity, and the urgent responsibility on patriotic Nigerians to continue engaging in the search for solutions that can rescue our country from drift and despair.
“I also felicitated with him on the occasion of his birthday yesterday and teased that Arsenal’s historic triumph could not have arrived at a better time. Chief Amaechi, a thoroughly well-loaded Gunner, took the banter in very good spirits.
“In true Rivers hospitality, he apologised for not having enough time to prepare Fisherman Soup, a delicacy I have now been promised on our return for the second leg.”
