Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Sunday, visited former president Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun state, amid political permutations ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a post on his Facebook page, the governor visited the former Nigerian leader with former governor of Ekiti state, Kayode Fayemi as well as former Osun state governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola.
Makinde, the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, said the meeting focused on a range of national issues ahead of next year’s general election.
According to the Facebook post, Makinde said, “earlier today, we visited Baba, His Excellency Chief Olusegun Obasanjo GCFR in Abeokuta.
“Our discussions centred on important national issues in view of the upcoming general election. We appreciate Baba for his wise counsel at this crucial time in our nation’s history.”
Recall that in May, Makinde, who is completing his second term as Oyo governor, officially declared his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election.
DAILY POST reports that Oyinlola is a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, while Fayemi remains a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Meanwhile, Obasanjo is yet to publicly declare who he will support in the 2027 election.
