Past comments are haunting some of the major players in Nigerian politics as they prepare for campaigns for the 2023 presidential election. On Thursday, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, paid a surprise visit to his old political foe, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Mr Tinubu was accompanied on the visit by a strong delegation that included billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, two former governors of Ogun State, Olusegun Osoba and Gbenga Daniel; the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; former Governor of Osun State, Bisi Akande, and others.
Controversial former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, is in full campaign mode for Mr Tinubu. On Thursday changed his Twitter banner to a picture of the meeting of Messrs Tinubu and Obasanjo.
Premium Times reports that even though it is easy to change the Twitter banner, Mr Fani-Kayode will have a hard time recanting some of the things he had said in the past. For over six years, he was the author of some damning conspiracy theories about the alleged “Islamisation and Fulanisation” of Nigeria.
