On Monday, former President Olusegun Obasanjo paid a visit to Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

News360 Nigeria reports gathered that the former president was on a Sallah visit to the first Lady.

The media aide Mrs. Tinubu, Busola Kukoyi, confirmed the meeting between the former President and the First Lady in a post on X.

Sharing photos of the two individuals, Kukoyi wrote:

“Former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Senator Oluremi Tinubu after receiving the Former President who came felicitating on the Sallah Celebration on Monday 17th June.”

Our correspondents recalls that days ago, a video showed the moment former President Olusegun Obasanjo wore a cap branded with President Bola Tinubu’s insignia.

Obasanjo and Tinubu are well known to belong to different political affiliations despite coming from the same Southwest geopolitical zone.

During the 2023 presidential election, the former president was well disposed towards the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Before the election, Tinubu had visited Obasanjo at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, while seeking an endorsement, but the former president opted for Obi.
