Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed dissatisfaction over claims by the supporters of the APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu that he endorsed him.
Tinubu recently visited Obasanjo in Abeokuta behind closed doors. Among those who were reportedly at the meeting were APC chieftain, Bisi Akande; and House of Representatives’ Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila.
After the meeting, Gbajabiamila told his constituents in Surulere, Lagos that what transpired during the meeting between Obasanjo and Tinubu was a sign of victory for Tinubu come 2023.
Displeased by the statement, Obasanjo said in a statement on Saturday by his media aide Kehinde Akinyemi that those behind the report he (Obasanjo) endorsed Tinubu are not helpful to the candidate.
Obasanjo said, “Those claiming to be insiders at the meeting issuing statement on the discussion and those crediting to me statement I had not made are enemies of the visitor and are not doing the visit any good.”
