The Executive Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun on Monday visited his political leader and All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in France.

Tinubu had travelled to Paris, France on June 27 for some important meetings and his media organisation said he is expected back in the country shortly.

However, Dapo Abiodun who posted a photo of the visit to Tinubu in France on Monday on his Twitter page, said he spent quality time with the former Governor of Lagos State.

According to him, they rubbed minds on numerous party and national issues.

He tweeted: “Spent quality time with our party leader and Presidential candidate, @officialABAT to rub minds on numerous party and National issues.”

Bola Tinubu had in June explained the role he played in the process that led to the emergence of Mr Abiodun as the governor of Ogun State.

While addressing a crowd of APC delegates in Abeokuta, he stated that his role was critical to the governor’s victory in the 2019 election in the state.

According to the former governor of Lagos State, party stakeholders in Ogun had rejected Governor Abiodun as the APC governorship candidate in the build-up to the election, but for his intervention.

“Dapo that’s sitting down here, could he have become Governor without me?” he queried while addressing the APC delegates in Yoruba during his consultation visit to Ogun, the home state of another presidential hopeful, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

“We were at the stadium; they tore all his posters. Even the party flag, they didn’t want to hand over it to him. I was the one who brought it. If he wants to meet God at the right place, he must know that without God and me, he would not have become Governor.”
