Speaker of House of Representatives, Rep.Femi Gbajabiamila,
has revealed what transpired at the meeting between former president Olusegun
Obasanjo and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Sen. Bola Tinubu,
Gbajabiamila in a statement on Thursday while speaking at
the Surulere Local Government Area (LGA) APC meeting in Surulere, Lagosaid
Obasanjo made encouraging statements about Tinubu’s aspiration and even prayed
for the APC presidential candidate.
He said, “When we were going to Obasanjo’s house, we were
eight, including Asiwaju Tinubu; we did not want many people to know about the
meeting. So, we were to meet Obasanjo and five others from his side.
“But when we eventually got there, we met something
pleasantly shocking: a mammoth crowd of our supporters were at Obasanjo’s house
waiting for us.
“So, Obasanjo told Asiwaju Tinubu to pick three people from
his side and that he would pick three from his side to meet behind closed
doors.”
He stated that he alongside Chief Bisi Akande, Osoba and
Asiwaju were at the meeting and from what Obasanjo said to them, Tinubu’s
victory is assured.
“Obasanjo spoke at length and we were all happy. He embraced
our candidate like a brother, gave him a pat on the back, and prayed for him
copiously”, Gbajabiamila said.
He added that Tinubu’s meeting with Obasanjo assured him of
victory in 2023.
