...It was a chance meeting at a function
The air has now been cleared about the much publicised meeting of former President Olusegun Obasanjo with Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, the nation's First Lady.
As against what was carried in the first narrative of the report,
Chief Obasanjo did not visit Mrs Tinubu at her Lagos residence.
It was earlier reported that Obasanjo and Mrs Tinubu met during the Sallah holiday at the latter's residence in Lagos.
However, a fresh report has indicated that the meeting between the duo was at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
A source confirmed that the picture of the two leaders released on social media was not taken at the Lagos residence of the first lady.
Our source further claimed that the meeting between the duo was not scheduled, as it was a chance meeting.
The fresh report claimed Obasanjo and Tinubu met in company with an influential society lady, Mrs. Abba Folawiyo, who is known to be close to Senator Tinubu.
The sources narrated that the former president had met Mrs. Folawiyo, mother of Mr. Segun Awolowo, at an event at Eko Hotel that Sallah Day and the First Lady too had an event on that day at the same hotel.
It was Mrs. Folawiyo, who is a long-time friend of the former president, who then told Obasanjo that the First Lady was around, and Obasanjo, out of respect, went to honour the First Lady by seeing her at the venue in company of Mrs. Folawiyo.
According to the sources, the duo talked about happenings in the country, and Obasanjo sent a message to President Bola Tinubu through the First Lady based on their discussion.
