Mark, Tinubu Hold Closed-door Meetings With Obasanjo! by kahal29: 6:36pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
Senate President David Mark and former governor of Lagos State and a National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Bola Tinubu, on Friday held separate closed-door meetings with the former President Olusegun Obasanjo. The meetings were held at the former president’s Hilltop residence in Abeokuta. Both Mark and Tinubu said the issues discussed bordered on politics and the state of the nation. Tinubu came ahead of Mark. Emerging from the venue of the meeting, Tinubu said he discussed with Obasanjo “some of his former boys” who would vie for various elective positions in the 2015 general elections, especially the Presidency. He said, “We are here to pay homage to our former president and have a number of discussions with him because he has a lot of influence in the political sphere. “As a good merger, we need to talk. Because the merger will serve various branches. It is a very big tree. So, we need to talk, to find out his thinking about Nigeria and the future. “We need to seek his observation as some of his former boys are running for presidency in our party. What can he say about them?” When pressed further, Tinubu refused to expatiate on the crucial meeting which lasted about two hours. But he later said there was nothing worth celebrating about 54th independence anniversary, since thecountry remained “an invalid baby in the incubator.” Mark, who arrived at the Hilltop residence at 2pm, left around 3.45pm. He also described Obasanjo as the father of the nation with a wealth of experience. The Senate President told journalists after the meeting that he had come with his team, which included the Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan; Peoples Democratic Party Women Leader, Mrs Josephine Anenih; and Senator Polycarp Nwite, among others to discuss with Obasanjo and raise some basic issues that affect both the PDP and the nation at large. He said, “They are discussions that would move this nation forward, because his passion for this nation is unquantifiable. So we have really had a good discussion with him.” www.punchng.com/news/mark-tinubu-hold-closed-door-meetings-with-obasanjo/ 21 Likes 1 Share |

It is like the meeting is about how to stop Atiku According to what Tinunu said codedly " that some persons that transition from different parties and wants to contest for the post of President" - Though I still find it quite amiable that Obj still hold some or even all the aces when it comes to Naija Politics.... "Old soldier never dye" so goes the saying. 68 Likes 4 Shares |

Tinubu to Obasanjo in 2011 "What integrity has Obasanjoin terms of his lagacies for Nigeria to speak on elections? Apart from his aborted third term ambition, he brought about and left a legacy of electoral corruption in the country. What is Obasanjo talking about? He should go away and retire in shame politically. He should leave the political landscape of this country alone. He brought a whole salad of corruption manipulations and failure" Fast forward 2014, Obasanjo has become the pillar of democracy in Nigeria. Gospel according to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and somebody on nairaland told me I should respect him. SMH 224 Likes 26 Shares |

I don't know how healthy obasanjo and Buhari's relationship is, but I know obasanjo will not want Atiku to be president. I also don't think Tinubu will trust Atiku. Buhari will be irritated with Atiku now. The convention where APC's presidential candidate will emerge will be quite interesting. GEJ just dey laff. Obasanjo will rather have Jonathan there than Atiku who seem to be more audible in the APC presidential race than Buhari. Mark is there to tell Obasanjo to support the lesser evil which is Jonathan. Tinubu go just collect money and sell the APC presidential slot regardless of who becomes their presidential candidate. All these are my personal permutations anyways. 85 Likes 1 Share |
