Buhari received the politicians at his home amid jokes and banter.
Atiku later posted a statement on his X handle saying the visit to Buhari was a post-sallah homage.
He said: “As the Waziri Adamawa, I was obligated to be in my Adamawa during the Sallah celebrations. I held forth for the Lamido Fombina (Adamawa) in some of the activities of the Sallah celebrations.
“Today, I had the opportunity to pay a post-Sallah visit to His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2015-2023. It was a wonderful time with him.
“As usual, he cracked me up (to the extent that my ribs were hurting) with his peculiar humour.”
