Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, on Tuesday held a secret meeting with the former president Olusegun Obasanjo, at his Hilltop home, Abeokuta, capital of Ogun State.
Tambuwal who arrived the former president’s residence around 5.30pm left around 6.18pm.
The visit, according to sources, might not be unconnected with the speaker’s ambition in 2015, as he is being rumoured to be nurturing a presidential ambition.
His media aide, Imam Imam, however said his boss and Obasanjo only rubbed minds on the state of the nation, and how to move it forward.
“You know Baba is a father to all in the country. The visit was a consultation. It is about rubbing minds on how to move the country forward, and make Nigeria better,” Imam said.
When asked if the visit was in connection with Tambuwal’s alleged presidential ambition in 2015, Imam said he could not confirm that because it was a closed door meeting between Tambuwal and Obasanjo.
“I could not say anything on that because it was a closed door meeting. About the presidential ambition, that also I could not comment on. Let’s wait till 2015 and then we will address that.”
