A former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has faulted comments made by chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) present during his meeting with the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, describing all statements made by the personalities as the outcome of their discussion as false.

Obasanjo said that the discussion he had with Tinubu was not centered on politics, particularly the 2023 presidential election, rather their meeting was more of a family discussion than politics.

The former president expressed dissatisfaction with the unauthorized comments credited to him on the discussion he had with the Lagos State former governor in a statement released on Saturday.

In a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, he stressed that comments coming from those claiming to be supporters of Tinubu were not unhelpful to his ambition.

He noted that the discussion had during the Tinubu held at his home in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, during the week was requested by the APC candidate and that the agreement during the meeting was not to disclose what transpired to the public.

According to the statement, the former President said the discussion during the visit was “more brotherly than political”, and at the request of Bola Tinubu, Chief Obasanjo agreed to no statement from either side.

“Those claiming to be insiders at the meeting stating the discussion and those crediting to me statement I had not made are enemies of the visitor and are not doing the visit any good”.
