President Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with the former president, Olusegun Obasanjo during the swearing-in of Governor Hope Uzodimma.
This was the first time the duo will be meeting after the 2023 presidential election, Truth Live News reports.
Surprisingly, the President and former president exchanged warm greetings and shared a hug at the inaugural ceremony.
Previously, Tinubu and Obasanjo had a strained relationship, but they appeared to have reconciled before the 2023 presidential election when Tinubu visited the former president in Ota, Ogun State.
However, despite Tinubu’s visit, Obasanjo supported Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, during the last election.
The inauguration came about two months after Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won a second term in office, defeating his closest rivals Samuel Anyanwu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP)’s Athan Achonu.
The governor got 540,308 votes, the PDP candidate secured 71, 503 votes, and Nneji Achonu polled 64,081 votes.
