Deji Elumoye in Abuja
Former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Saturday visited the former Governor of Abia State and current Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, at his Asokoro, Abuja residence.
Tinubu was said to have arrived Kalu’s residence at about 4.25pm to the warm embrace of his host before going into a private meeting at one of the living rooms in Kalu’s one-storey duplex home.
Before the commencement of the closed-door meeting, Kalu expressed his gratitude to God for the speedy recovery of Tinubu who returned to Nigeria on October 8 from London, the United Kingdom, where he underwent knee surgery.
Though details of their meeting appears sketchy as at press time but it might not be unconnected with political developments in the country, especially the 2023 Presidential elections.
The duo refused to talk to the media at the end of their meeting.
Tinubu’s visit came amid talks that both men are eyeing the 2023 Presidential poll to succeed incumbent President Buhari in May 2023
Both men served as governors of their respective states at the beginning of the Fourth Republic from 1999 to 2007. While Tinubu is a former Senator in the ill fated Third Republic, Kalu is the current Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District in the 9th Senate.
