There were speculations that the primaries will create a rift between both politicians because many believed Osibanjo betrayed Tinubu by contesting against him despite being his “political benefaciary.”
However, the APC chieftain has laid those speculations to rest after he paid a visit to President Buhari and used the opportunity to see Osibanjo.
According to a source who spoke with Premium Times, Tinubu said he and Osinbajo are like blood brothers as they have come a long way together.
“We were just sitting around when the vice president was informed that Asiwaju has arrived.
Asiwaju said he is surprised that people assume the presidential contest will create a wedge between him and the vice president. He told us that they have come a long way and they are like blood brothers now.
According to the source, He said what happened was just democracy in action and there was nothing wrong with it,”
