Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, on Friday, met with Nigeria’s President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at the Defence House in Abuja.
Bellnewsonline.com reports that Makinde alongside Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State met with Tinubu days after he returned to the country from vacation in Paris, France.
Tinubu had earlier paid homage to President Buhari at the Presidential Villa after which they jointly observed Juma’at prayers at the Presidential Villa Mosque in Abuja.
The two governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had a light-hearted chat with the president-elect and also took pictures with the governors.
Shortly after their arrival, Makinde and Wike had a closed-door meeting with Tinubu along with the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum and Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu; his Jigawa State counterpart, Abubakar Badaru, and former governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi.
Addressing journalists after their discussion, the duo disclosed that they came all the way to pay homage to the president-elect following his victory at the February 25 poll.
