The former Governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu
Sheriff, on Thursday met former President Olusegun Obasanjo behind closed
doors.
Modu Sheriff arrived at Obasanjo’s penthouse residence at
the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, the Ogun State
capital, and went straight into the meeting with the former President.
Modu Sheriff, refused to disclose the details of his
discussions with the former president to journalists.
The former Borno governor informed that his visit to
Obasanjo was private.
He described the Balogun Owu as the “Chairman and Chief
Executive of Nigeria,” whose wealth of knowledge in public administration, he
said, would continue to be of benefit to other politicians.
He stressed the need for young politicians to tap from the
experience and knowledge of Obasanjo.
Modu Sheriff said, “It is purely a private visit; you know
Baba (Obasanjo) is an elder statesman. If Nigeria is a company, Baba is the
Chairman and Chief Executive of Nigeria. So, I came for consultation and had a
private chat with Baba.
“If Nigeria is a company, Baba is the Chairman. I’m the
younger one, so from time to time, I must come and greet my father, discuss
with him privately and go back.”
On whether his discussion with baba was on the Nigeria
project, the former governor replied, “I didn’t say that, it is a private
visit.”
When asked about his views on the 2023 elections,
Modu-Sheriff said, “Your view is my view, what is your view? What is my view? I
want my party to win.”
Sheriff, a former national chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), is now a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
