GWG reports that Gbajabiamila made the statement on Thursday while speaking at an All Progressives Congress, APC meeting in his Surulere constituency. 

Gbajiabiamila said Obasanjo made encouraging statements about Tinubu’s aspiration and even prayed for the APC presidential candidate.

“When we were going to Obasanjo’s house, we were eight, including Asiwaju Tinubu and me; we didn’t want many people to know about the meeting. So, we were to meet Obasanjo and five others from his side.

“Obasanjo spoke at length and we were all happy. He embraced our candidate like a brother, gave him a pat on the back, and prayed for him copiously”, he said in part.

However, reacting to the claims of Gbajabiamila that Obasanjo prayed for Tinubu, Nigerians via their handles insisted on waiting to hear directly from the former president.
