Barely six months after the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) conducted a presidential primary in which Asiwaju Bola Tinubu emerged as candidate, vice president Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday paid an unscheduled visit to the party’s standard bearer at his Abuja residence.
Recall Osinbajo was one of the frontline aspirants who lost to Tinubu. His absence from the campaign train since September had sent tongues wagging, despite the announcement by the presidency that President Muhammadu Buhari had asked his vice to concentrate on the business of governance.
According to multiple sources, the vice president alongside few of his aides arrived at Tinubu’s Asokoro home at about 7pm on Wednesday and went into a closed door meeting with him.
Confirming the visit, Laolu Akande, the spokesperson to the Vice President, shared the picture of the duo together with the captuure, “Vice President Yemi Osinbajo stopped by for a friendly visit at the Abuja residence of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu just now.”
