Segun Atanda/
Days after meeting with former President Ibrahim Babangida in his Minna home, in Niger State, Senate President Bukola Saraki, today called on another former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, in Abeokuta.
Last Wednesday week, Saraki visited Babangida, and today he arrived at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) at about 5.27 p.m.
The meeting, which held behind closed doors lasted more than an hour and a half.
Details of the meeting were not made available to journalists.
The Senate President who was wearing a white Agbada with a white cap told journalists he was in Abeokuta to see Obasanjo because he missed the official opening of the multi-billion dollar project of the OOPL.
He described the library as a beautiful edifice that all Nigerians should be proud of.
“You know I missed the official opening of the library and that is why I have decided to come and see the place and honestly it is beautiful. We are very proud of what he has done here,” he said.
After visiting Babangida, Saraki said: “Dropped in to pay my respects to General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida. Always happy to be with a father and leader.”
Saraki’s visits to former Nigerian leaders began after last Wednesday’s press conference, in which he accused the executive of sending DSS men to blockade the National Assembly.
The accusation has been debunked and the head of the DSS then, Lawal Daura, sacked for the unconstitutional action.
