It would be recalled that the former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu had on Wednesday visited Obasanjo to discuss his chances in the 2023 presidential election, and also to seek the support of the former president.
According to a reliable source, Tinubu who visited the former president in Abeokuta with a retinue of top leaders, including the former governor of Ogun state, Chief Segun Osoba and other traditional leaders discussed extensively over his presidential ambition and other sundry issues affecting the country.
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’’
