APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu visited former president Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday, August 17, in Abeokuta, Ogun state, as the 2023 general election draws near.
Although specifics of their meeting have not yet been made public, it is assumed that they discussed Tinubu's desire to win the presidency in the general elections in 2023.
Femi Gbajabiamila, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abidoun, the former Interim Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bisi Akande, and numerous others accompanied Tinubu on the trip.
Adekunle Tinubu (born March 29, 1952) held the offices of Lagos State Governor from 1999 to 2007 and Senator for Lagos West during the Third Republic's brief existence. He was selected as the All Progressives Congress's candidate for the 2023 Nigerian presidential election in June 2022. Tinubu was born and raised in the southwest of Nigeria. After moving to the United States, he attended Chicago State University to study accounting. After moving back to Nigeria in the early 1980s, he worked as an accountant for Mobil Nigeria before joining politics in 1992 as the Social Democratic Party's candidate for the Lagos West senate seat. After the tyrannical Sani Abacha disbanded the Senate in 1993, Tinubu joined the National Democratic Coalition movement and started advocating for the restoration of democracy. Despite being driven into exile in 1994, Tinubu returned when Abacha's death in 1998 signaled the start of the Fourth Republic.
In the first post-transition election for governor of Lagos State, Tinubu of the Alliance for Democracy defeated Dapo Sarumi of the Peoples Democratic Party and Nosirudeen Kekere-Ekun of the All People's Party with a sizable margin. Four years later, he narrowly defeated Funsho Williams of the PDP to win re-election for a second term. Tinubu's two administrations were characterized by his battles with the PDP-run federal government and his attempts to modernize Lagos. He had a significant part in the creation of the All Progressives Congress in 2013 after leaving office in 2007. Tinubu's career has been long and contentious, dogged by allegations of corruption and doubts about the accuracy of his personal background.
Director Olusegun Nigerian politician and military leader Matthew Okikiola Ogunboye Aremu Obasanjo, GCFR (Yoruba: Olgun Básanj, born 5 March 1937), formerly held the positions of head of state from 1976 to 1979 and president from 1999 to 2007. He is an ideologically committed Nigerian nationalist who served in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from 1999 to 2015 and the African Democratic Congress since 2018. (ADC). Obasanjo maintained multiple relationships. Oluremi Akinlawon, the first woman Obasanjo married, gave birth to his son Iyabo in 1967 after the couple wed in London in 1963. Iyabo and her father shared a tight bond. Oluremi claimed that Obasanjo beat her because she disapproved of the fact that he had connections with other women. Early in the 1970s, they got divorced. Obasanjo started a common-law marriage to NTA reporter Gold Oruh, who gave birth to two of his children. In 1976, after meeting Stella Abebe during a trip to London, he wed her. In 1976, he wed Stella, and together they had three kids. Businesswoman Lynda Soares, who was murdered by auto thieves in 1986, was one of Obasanjo's other partners.
Stella Obasanjo, the First Lady of Nigeria, passed away on October 23, 2005, one day after receiving an abdominoplasty in Spain. The doctor, identified only as "AM," was given a year in prison in Spain in 2009 for carelessness and was also compelled to make compensation of around $176,000 to her son. He kept most of his interactions with these women a secret. Some of his kids were angry with him since he treated their mothers badly and didn't give them any special privileges.
