Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday night, paid a scheduled visit to former President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja.

They included the Governor of Plateau State and Director-General of his Presidential Campaign Council, Simon Lalong; his Ogun State counterpart, Dapo Abiodun; Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawale; Jigawa State Governor, Abubakar Badaru and Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

The meeting came on the heels of Tinubu’s earlier visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta.

The former governor arrived at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in his chopper at about 1:09 pm and was received by Governor Dapo Abiodun, former governor Gbenga Daniel, his predecessor, Segun Osoba, and other Ogun State government functionaries.

Jonathan was severally rumoured to be considering joining the APC before the party’s presidential primary.
