By Farouk Mohammed

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the national caretaker chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi, are currently in a closed-door meeting.

The meeting is said to be holding in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

This is the first time the two are meeting since 2015 when Obasanjo left the party.

Markafi, who was accompanied by PDP leaders, including Sarafa Isola, a former minister, were received by Obasanjo at the Green Legacy Hotels and Suites located in Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.

The entourage arrived at about 10a.m.

Markafi later went into a private meeting with Obasanjo, at the grill house section of the hotel.

After the closed-door meeting between the former president and Makarfi, those who accompanied Markafi were invited into another meeting that lasted for about 25 minutes.

The agenda of the meeting is unknown as of the time of filing this report.
