Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), visited former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State, along with other political gladiators as the 2023 presidential election drew nearer.
In order to finalise his plans to run for president in the upcoming general elections, the former governor of Lagos State travelled with members of his team to Chief Obasanjo's residence.
Governor Dapo Abiodun, his deputy Noimot Salako-Oyedele, former governors Olusegun Osoba and Gbenga Daniel, as well as other APC power players who were already present, welcomed Tinubu.
Touching down at about 1 pm, the APC presidential candidate immediately went straight into a closed-door meeting with the former President at the penthouse residence within the premises of Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.
In Tinubu’s entourage are the House of Representatives Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief Bisi Akande, Nuhu Ribadu, among others.
Tinubu’s supporters had earlier thronged Obasanjo’s residence, turning it into a campaign arena of some sort.
It could be recalled that this is the third Tinubu would be visiting Ogun over his presidential bid. In February, he met all the paramount rulers in the state and intimated them of his ambition.
On June 2, Tinubu, ahead of the party’s presidential primary, met with the APC delegates in Abeokuta, where he revealed the roles in play in enthroning President Buhari in 2015.
