2023: Massive Crowd Storms Venue as Tinubu Meets Obasanjo
By Ozumi Abdul
A massive crowd welcomed the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday, during a visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
It was the first time Tinubu would be meeting the ex-President since he picked the APC presidential ticket on June 8.
He arrived the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) around 1.14pm and proceeded to the elder statesman’s penthouse within the sprawling facility to hold a closed-door meeting with the ex-President.
A massive crowd of supporters and enthusiasts besieged OOPL hours before his arrival chanting his name and party slogan.

Our correspondent observed that the supporters gave security operatives hectic time when Tinubu arrived.
The operatives after much efforts later succeeded in creating a pathway for the presidential hopeful to navigate his way out of the Coaster Bus that brought him to the entrance door leading to Obasanjo’s penthouse.
The APC National Leader was accompanied by former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, Senator Andy Uba and other political bigwigs in APC.
Ogun state Governor, Dapo Abiodun; former Governor, Segun Osoba; his successor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, ex-Deputy Governor, Gbenga Kaka; Senator Gbenga Obadara, Chief Femi Majekodunmi; and the state APC Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, arrived the OOPL earlier to join Obasanjo to receive Tinubu and his entourage.
The meeting is still ongoing at the time of filing this report.
