2023 Elections: Obasanjo Keeps Mum Over Tinubu’s Visit
Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has kept mum on the visit of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, to his residence.
Naija News reports that Tinubu had earlier on Wednesday met with Obasanjo as part of his consultation ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The chopper of the former Governor of Lagos State landed at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Oke Mosan, Abeokuta around 1 pm.
The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun who was on the ground received Tinubu, while his Deputy, Noimot Salako-Oyedele and former governors Olusegun Osoba, Gbenga Daniel also welcomed their leader.
Tinubu immediately went straight into the closed-door meeting with Obasanjo.
Others at the meeting were the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, former APC Chairman, Bisi Akande, Nuhu Ribadu and several others.
Hours after the visit, Obasanjo has yet to issue any official statement on the visit of the presidential hopeful to his Abeokuta residence ahead of the 2023 elections.
I Didn’t Come For Campaign
After the closed-door meeting, Tinubu told the crowd of supporters at the MKO Abiola stadium that he was not in Ogun for campaigns yet but just came to say thank you.
He said: “We love what the governor is doing and we are glad with all the support you have given him. Campaign has not started yet, I’m just here to greet you. Thank you and God bless you. God bless Ogun state, God bless Nigeria, God bless your children. Thank you.”
