Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), on Tuesday, met with former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
Tinubu was accompanied to Jonathan’s residence in the
federal capital territory (FCT) by Kashim Shettima, APC vice-presidential
candidate; Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun; Simon Lalong, governor of Plateau;
and Bello Matawalle, governor of Zamfara, among others.
Apart from a picture that surfaced online following the
meeting, details of what was discussed are not yet known.

In recent times, APC stalwarts have made efforts to woo the
former president to the ruling party.
In April, supporters of the former president — who is a
member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) — besieged his home in Abuja,
calling on him to contest the 2023 presidential election.
In response, Jonathan said: “You are calling me to come and
declare for the next election. I cannot tell you I’m declaring. The political
process is ongoing. Just watch out.”
A few days later, a northern coalition bought the APC
presidential expression of interest and nomination forms for Jonathan, but he
turned down the gesture and denied approving the purchase.
The former president also failed to show up for the screening exercise of presidential candidates of the ruling party.
