The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, held a closed-door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his penthouse within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta on Monday.<\/p>\n
Saraki, who came in a black Toyota Landcruiser jeep in company with some security aides, arrived the OOPL around 5.30pm and emerged from the meeting at 7.12 pm.<\/p>\n
Our correspondent gathered that the meeting was earlier scheduled to hold at 4pm but did not start until 5.30pm when Saraki arrived at the venue.<\/p>\n
Emerging from the meeting, Saraki told journalists that he was with Obasanjo to make up for his absence at the formal inauguration of the Presidential library held last year.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cYou 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The embattled Senate President hurriedly entered his vehicle and it zoomed off when journalists threw questions at him about the crisis rocking the National Assembly.<\/p>\n
Informed sources, however, said that the meeting was not unconnected with the crisis rocking the National Assembly over the plot to impeach him by the All Progressives Congress senators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
