The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership, headed by Chairman Alhaji Taminu Turaki, held a closed-door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta on Saturday.
Turaki, alongside former governors of Niger State, Alhaji Muazu Babangida; and Plateau State, Senator Jonah Jang, and other senior party leaders, arrived at the former president’s residence within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, at about 11:38 am.
The PDP leaders subsequently proceeded for a private meeting with Obasanjo.
In January 2023, Obasanjo, who was elected President on the ticket of the PDP in 1999 and 2003, told the party leaders that he would not return to the party, when delegation, led by the National Chairman of the party, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, four former governors, and members of the party’s National Working Committee visited him at his residence in Abeokuta.
