Ojo Peter, Ibadan
Three serving governors and former House of Representative member on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Hon. Dimeji Bankole, on Sunday visited the Ibadan home of the former governor of Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja.
Other special personalities ushered into the Ondo street of the Ibadan high chief by Sen. AbdulFatai Buhari, Oloye Sharafadeen Alli, Hon. Bimbo Adepoju and others during the visit were Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa state, Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi state and Mai Buni of Yobe state.
Although the details of what they discussed were not disclosed to journalists as they declined comments after the meeting; however, Orient Daily exclusively gathered that the meeting was in a bid to lure the highly respected politician to the ruling APC.
The meeting which took place behind closed doors, held between 1:35 and 2:29 pm.
Orient Daily recalls that the party had lost the state to the main opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2019 governorship election after the APC had ruled for 8 years.
