A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Sunday paid a courtesy visit to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, ahead of Fayose’s upcoming 65th birthday on November 15.
The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Nyesome Wike, Lere Olayinka, shared photos from the visit via his X handle, capturing the two leaders in warm moments, signalling an end to years of public animosity.
Obasanjo, dressed in a while traditional outfit and green cap, engaged in a game of Ayo, a traditional Yoruba board game in one of the images.
Fayose and Obasanjo’s relationship has long been marked by tension, with both leaders often on opposite sides in politics.
The meeting also comes amid a series of high-profile visits to Fayose in the lead-up to his birthday, including one from former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday.
