Fayose Meets Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Holds Closed-Door Talks at OOPL

Fayose meets Obasanjo in Abeokuta for a closed-door discussion amid rising talks of PDP unity and southern alliances.

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Sunday met with former President Olusegun Obasanjo behind closed doors at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Fayose, who arrived at the OOPL complex was received by aides of the former president before proceeding to Obasanjo’s private where the meeting was held.

Although details of their discussions were not made public, sources close to the meeting described it as “a private visit” that lasted for over an hour.

The former Ekiti governor, known for his outspoken political style and criticism of national leaders, has in recent times called for unity among southern political actors ahead of future political realignments.

The meeting has, however, sparked political speculation, coming at a time when discussions around the future of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and national reconciliation efforts are gaining momentum.
