The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has explained the reason behind its visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, declaring that the party is fully prepared to reclaim power in the 2027 general elections.
Their visit took place on Saturday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, where the National Chairman of the party, Tanimu Turaki, led other top leaders to Obasanjo’s penthouse residence within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library complex.
The PDP delegation included former Niger State governor, Babangida Aliyu; Deputy National Chairman, Taofeek Arapaja; former Plateau State governor, Jonah Jang; and Ambassador Folake Marcus-Bello, among others. They were received by the Ogun State Chairman of the party, Hon. Abayomi Tella, alongside other state leaders.
After their arrival, the party leaders held a closed-door meeting with the former president. The meeting lasted for about 40 minutes.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, Turaki said the visit was aimed at seeking guidance, support, and direction from Obasanjo as the new leadership of the party settles into office.
