Former governorship candidate in Lagos state, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has paid a visit to the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at his Ikoyi residence in Lagos.
Obanikoro on Sunday, alongside other dignitaries presented the staff of Eyo (a masquerade) to Tinubu, which is normally presented to an important dignitary ahead of the Eyo festival.
Tunde Rahman, the spokesperson to Bola Tinubu, played down the visit of the former Defence Minister.
”I don’t think there is more to the visit. It’s been in the public domain that Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has reconciled with his political leader. So, if you see him around Asiwaju, you should understand within that context.
”He (Obanikoro) even said it publicly that he has retraced his steps and come back home. He said when he went astray, he thought Asiwaju would reach out to him but that now, he has retraced his steps… He joined those who came to present the staff of Eyo to Asiwaju as a mark of respect,” he said.
Akinwunmi Ambode, Governor of Lagos, Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, and Femi Pedro, former Deputy Governor of Lagos, were also present during the presentation.
