Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday hosted Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, and former Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola at his Abeokuta residence, where they held discussions centred on matters of national importance.
The high-profile meeting, held behind closed doors at Obasanjo’s residence in Ogun State, has attracted significant political attention amid ongoing conversations about Nigeria’s political and economic future.
Speaking after the meeting, the visitors said they sought the former president’s “wise counsel” on issues affecting the country, describing the engagement as part of broader consultations on national development and the way forward.
Although details of the discussions were not disclosed, the delegation maintained that the visit was focused on exchanging ideas and benefiting from Obasanjo’s wealth of experience in governance and nation-building.
Obasanjo, who has remained one of Nigeria’s most influential elder statesmen since leaving office, is widely regarded as a key voice on national affairs and is frequently consulted by political leaders across party lines.
The meeting comes at a time of heightened political engagements across the country, with consultations among prominent political figures intensifying ahead of future national developments. While no official political resolutions were announced, the visit is expected to fuel public interest over the evolving political landscape.
Neither Obasanjo nor his visitors indicated whether further consultations would follow, but the meeting underscored the continued role of dialogue among senior political leaders on issues affecting Nigeria’s unity, governance and democratic progress.
