Leading stalwart of the All progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday afternoon paid a surprise visit to the Ile Oduduwa, Palace of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi at Ile-Ife, Osun State.
It was in continuation of his consultation with critical stakeholders and opinion leaders across the country on his ambition to contest for the nation’s top job on the ticket of the APC.
Tinubu had in January broken the ice on speculation surrounding his ambition when he informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to contest the nation’s presidency.
Since informing the President, Tinubu has been going round the country courting critical stakeholders on his candidacy.
The visits had seen him go to the Sultan of Sokoto, the Emir of Kano, Awujale of Ijebuland, the Alake of Egbaland, the Alaafin of Oyo, Olubadan-elect of Ibadan and the Ooni of Ife.
The leading party stalwart was received by a massive crowd amidst very tight security at the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.
