The source shrieked, “It was exactly what occurred to former President Jonathan in 2015, Baba refused to accept Tinubu. Segun Osoba negotiated the terms of Tinubu’s visit with the former President. Like he did in 2015 with Jonathan, Obasanjo only reluctantly accepted them. He always acts in like manner when he opposes someone’s ambition’’
