It is unclear what the agenda of the meeting is, but it is speculated that it could be about the presidential bid of Tinubu.

Tinubu arrived at the Penthouse of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Oke- Mosan, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, in his chopper at about 1:09 pm in the company of some party leaders.

He was received by Governor Dapo Abiodun, former Governor Gbenga Daniel, his predecessor, Segun Osoba, and other Ogun State government functionaries.

Since Tinubu began his presidential bid, this is the third time he will be visiting Ogun, but the first time visiting Obasanjo.

Tinubu and Obasanjo had not been seen together since 2015 when he escorted the then APC candidate, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to Obasanjo’s residence.

He was also at the 78th birthday of the former President held at Abeokuta in March 2015.

The two of them have since kept their distance as Obasanjo withdrew his support for Buhari and the APC, which he supported to power by tearing his card as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
