On Thursday 1st November 2018, Olujonwon Obasanjo, son of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, paiid a courtesy visit to President Buhari at the State House, Abuja.
This comes after he declared his support for the president a few weeks ago and promised to work towards his re-election even though his dad has publicly endorsed Atiku Abubakar.
The meeting was held inside Buhari’s official residence at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, posted pictures of the meeting on his Facebook account. Adesina wrote, “President Buhari receives in courtesy call Olujonwon Obasanjo (son of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo) in State House on 1st Nov 2018”
Olujonwon has been supporting Buhari’s re-election. He had earlier visited the Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Office in Abuja.
His support for the President is, however, contrary to his father’s position on Buhari’s re-election.
Obasanjo had advised Buhari not to seek re-election in 2019.
Obasanjo also recently endorsed the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, ahead of the election.
