Former President Olusegun
Obasanjo and Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, on Saturday, were in a
closed-door meeting in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The meeting was held at the
Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Pent House immediately after the
governor arrived at 2.30 pm.
The meeting ended after one hour
and the governor reportedly left at 3.30 pm.
Obasanjo’s Special Assistant on
Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, confirmed the development in a statement on Saturday.
The statement titled, “Obasanjo
Still Relevant For Consultations On Issues Of Governance And Challenges’,
described the visit by Tambuwal as an unscheduled one.
The statement partly read, “After
about an hour meeting behind closed doors with Obasanjo, the governor hinted
that they had a successful parley and he was happy that the elder statesman was
in high spirits despite the Covid-19 pandemic atmosphere.”
Akinyemi quoted Tambuwal as
saying, “Baba is our leader and statesman. And it is always good for us to come
around to see how he is doing, pay homage and consult him on very many issues
of governance. That is why we have come this afternoon. And, we brought him the
greetings and felicitations of the good people of Sokoto State.
“We shall continue to learn from
him, drink from his wealth of experience and fountain of his knowledge and
wisdom on issues of governance and challenges of today. We prayed that God
Almighty shall continue to give him good health as I have met him today, and
may he and all of us survive this Covid-19 pandemic.”
