Nigerians react as Atiku visits Pantami
However, the former minister’s post has started generating mixed reactions from some Nigerians who took to the comment section to express their views about the move.
Below are some of their comments:
Michael Obinna called for an alliance between the South-East and the North to stop President Tinubu in the 2027 election:
“The SE must make a deal with North! We can’t allow APC to win in 2027. I’m certain that Atiku will be a much better president than Tinubu.”
Ubandomaj praised the leaders for meeting ahead of the 2027 election:
“The visit is a brotherly one, aimed at meaningful discussions, because Nigeria is indeed going through tough times and needs emergency assistance. If you have the strength to effect positive change, do so with your strength, words, or actions. Thank you, Mallam @ProfIsaPantami, for hosting our leader.”

Bishop Adamu Chitumu said it was time for the former vice president to start visiting markets and other public places:
“Dear @atiku. We have taken note & appreciate your visits to political “heavyweights” & allies since your return. Do you not think it’s time for you to start visiting markets, hospitals, and local schools to engage with the REAL NIGERIAN VOTERS to FEEL THE TRUE PULSE OF THE NATION?”
Baker Homes praised the meeting:
“Great to see leaders engage in conversations around the economy, education, and unity. These are the same pillars we believe shape strong communities. At Baker Homes, we see real estate as part of that foundation for a better Nigeria.”
The Captain commented:
“The rate at which politicians Dey talk about meaningful discussions, Nigeria suppose don pass America. Everybody Dey talk meaningful discussions.”
