Obasanjo Disowns Tinubu, Says Gbajabiamiala And Others Are His Enemies Who Are Not Doing The Visit Any Good

 Former Nigeria's President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has berated supporters of the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, over the assertion that he has endorsed him.

Tinubu had recently visited the former Nigerian ruler with his political entourage, with reports that Obasanjo had endorsed the former Nigerian governor.

Obasanjo expressed anger with an unauthorised report of the discussion at the closed doors meeting he held with Tinubu.

In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Saturday, Obasanjo said the statements coming from those claiming to be supporters of Bola Tinubu are unhelpful.

It would be recalled that the Speaker of House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, had said that what transpired during the meeting between Obasanjo and Tinubu was a sign of victory for Tinubu come 2023.

The Speaker, who said he was present at the closed-door meeting on Wednesday in Abeokuta, said from what he heard there, Tinubu’s presidency was almost a reality.

Obasanjo while reacting to the claim, said the statement credited to him is fake and that the people behind the report 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.”
