Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has revealed that the victory of Bola Tinubu, a presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 election is sure following their meeting with Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president, in Abeokuta on Wednesday.
Recall that Tinubu held a closed door meeting with Obasanjo at his Abeokuta residence on Wednesday.
But details of the meeting have been kept secret even as the former Lagos State governor refused to speak with newsmen after the meeting.
Gbajabiamila, however, speaking during the APC Surulere Local Government Area meeting in Surulere, Lagos, said from what he heard at the meeting, Tinubu will sail to victory in 2023.
The Speaker was part of the meeting.
He said: “When we were going to Obasanjo’s house, we were eight, including Asiwaju Tinubu and me; we didn’t want many people to know about the meeting. So, we were to meet Obasanjo and five others from his side.
“But when we eventually got there, we met something pleasantly shocking: a mammoth crowd of our supporters were already at the former president’s house waiting for us.
“So, Obasanjo told Asiwaju Tinubu to pick three people from his side and that he would pick three from his side to meet behind closed doors.
“So, I, Chief Osoba and Chief Akande and Asiwaju went from our side. My people, what I heard there, what Obasanjo said, the victory of Asiwaju is assured.”
