The political rift between former president Olusegun Obasanjo and president Goodluck Jonathan in the build-up to the 2015 general elections may have been put to rest as the president visited the former president in his hilltop mansion in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.

The closed door meeting which lasted for about one and half hours may not be unconnected with the attempt aimed at mending broken fences and relationships between the two leaders over the latter’s intention to contest the next presidential election which has generated diverse reactions across the country

Curious journalists who thronged the hilltop mansion of the former president were not allowed access and were not briefed afterwards.

Immediately the president left around 1: 30pm, the governors of Kano, Jigawa, Adamawa and Sokoto took their turns in another round of meeting with the former president.
