The opposition leaders met with Babangida and Abubakar separately in their residences at Hill Top during which they held closed-door discussions with them.
APC leaders on the delegation were Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu, as well as a former Works Minister, Hassan Lawal.
APC's interim National Chairman, Bisi Akande; his deputy, Aminu Masari; and the National Woman Leader, Sharon Ikeaso were also on the delegation.
Babangida, a former presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, told journalists after hosting the APC leaders that his doors were open to anyone that chose to consult with him, adding that Nigeria was bigger than the PDP.
He said the APC leaders were concerned with the welfare of the nation, which should be the pre-occupation of all Nigerians.
Mr. Akande told journalists that the opposition leaders visited the former leaders to tap wisdom in running the party.
He said, “We need to pick the brains of former rulers in this country in order to be wiser than we were before we came here.”
The APC national chairman also said the party would continue to consult those it regarded as wise men in the country.
Also speaking, Mr. Tinubu assured that APC was committed to giving Nigerians better tomorrow.
“We are concerned with the well-being of Nigerians especially the young ones. We need to advocate for a future that belongs to all of us, a stable country that will promote peace, prosperity and diversity,” he said.
Mr. Tinubu justified the visit of the APC leaders to Babangida and Abubakar, saying “We have a lot of leaders that have been there before. They have seen Nigeria largely and governed the country. We have to look for them as we plan for the future”.
