A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership, headed by its chairman, Alhaji Taminu Turaki, is presently holding a closed-door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Turaki, alongside former governors of Nigeria and Plateau States, Alhaji Muazu Babangida and Sen Jonah Jang, and other senior party leaders, arrived at the former president’s residence within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, at about 11:38am on Saturday.
The PDP leaders subsequently proceeded for a private meeting with Obasanjo.
Details of the discussions have yet to be released.
Ahead of the 2023 PDP presidential primaries, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, in May 2022, held a closed-door meeting with three PDP governors in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Those present at the meeting included then Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom, and former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke.
Earlier in January of the same year, Obasanjo had told leaders of the opposition PDP that he would not return to the party.
This was when a PDP delegation led by the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, alongside four former governors and members of the National Working Committee, visited him at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
