According to Daily Post, Tinubu met with Osinbajo at the VP’s residence within the Aso Villa in Abuja. Osinbajo had lost the party’s presidential primaries to Tinubu, and in a video clip, Tinubu appeared to snub the Vice President before the intervention of House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila.

Meanwhile, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who is said to have had a friendly political relationship with Tinubu, has refused to bow out.

 

Many supporters of the former Lagos governor chastised Osinbajo for running for the APC presidential ticket alongside his former boss.

 

Osinbajo served as Lagos State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General from 1999 to 2007, during Tinubu’s tenure as governor. He recently claimed he played a role in Osinbajo’s appointment as Vice President.
