Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, in the last presidential election, paid a visit to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Thursday. The meeting was made known in a statement signed by Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi. Though Akinyemi disclosed pedestrian details of the meeting, he did not give any detail as to what both men discussed. “Abubakar arrived at about 12:00pm, had a closed session with Obasanjo and came out at about 1:00pm; observed his Islamic prayers and lunch before taking his leave at about 2:00pm,” the terse statement read.
