All is now set for meeting between leaders of All Progressives Congress (APC) and former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his hilltop residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
By 5.00 p.m., the leaders of the opposition party had converged at the Ogun State Government House located at Oke-Igbein, Abeokuta, to move in a convoy to Mr. Obasanjo’s home.
Mr. Obasanjo is also waiting to receive his guests, sources at his residence told PREMIUM TIMES. The former president is in company of some of his loyalists waiting for the visitors.
Those already with Governor Ibikunle Amosun at the Ogun government house include APC National Chairman, Bisi Akande; former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu; presidential candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Nuhu Ribadu; Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha; Adamawa State governor, Murtala Nyako; Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso; Kwara State governor, Abdulfatai Ahmed; two senators, Bukola Saraki and Ali Sherif; and a former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode.
The visitors are said to be waiting for former military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari; and Rivers governor, Rotimi Amaechi; before they go to Mr. Obasanjo’s house.
Mr. Obasanjo, a leader of the Nigeria’s ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, recently wrote to President Goodluck Jonathan, complaining of the way the party was being run.
In the letter, exclusively published by PREMIUM TIMES, he accused the president of encouraging corruption, and running the presidency in a clannish manner.
