2023: Tinubu, Obasanjo in closed-door meeting in Abeokuta

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday held a closed-door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta.
Mr Tinubu, who arrived at Obasanjo’s residence inside the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) at about 1:10 p.m., immediately went into a closed-door meeting with the former president.
The meeting lasted more than an hour.
The APC flag bearer, however, could not address the press after the meeting because of the teeming crowd.
He, thereafter, proceeded to the MKO Abiola International Stadium to address the party chieftains.
After pronouncing blessings on the APC members at the stadium, Mr Tinubu told them that it was not yet time for campaign.
“The campaign has not started yet. I am just here to greet you and to say hello to you.
“May God bless Ogun; May God bless Nigeria, and May God bless your children,” he prayed.
Mr Tinubu also acknowledged the “good works” of the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, and the support people of the state had continued to give to him.
