No Smile As Atiku Meets Seyi Makinde At Diri’s Father’s Burial In Bayelsa
There was no smile on the face of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as he met with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde at the burial of the father of Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, held in Otueke, Bayelsa State.
Atiku, who arrived late to the burial, exchanged pleasantries with Makinde without any smile, a sign of apparent tension between the two men.
The reason for the frosty reception, according to reports, is due to Makinde’s recent endorsement of Atiku’s rival, President Muhammadu Buhari, for the 2019 presidential election.
Despite the apparent tension, both men attended the burial and paid their respects to the late Pa Diri.
