Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has met with former military head of state Abdusalami Abubakar after his marathon meetings with some of the political gladiators for the 2023 presidential elections in London.
Though Obasanjo claimed that his visit to Abdusalami was private, observers believe that it was part of his efforts to see a credible candidate emerge as president next year.
He said while speaking to news reports in Minna.: “I don’t have a special candidate, I have a national agenda.
“I came to see my brother who has been a little indisposed. I had plans to visit him when he was still in London, but the day I arrived in London was the day he returned home.
“So that is why I decided to come and see him at home. He is very special so I had to come.”
