The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, on Saturday paid a courtesy call on former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The meeting took place at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) Penthouse residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

In a statement signed by Obasanjo’s Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, the Governor met with Obasanjo behind closed doors.

Tambuwal said he was at the former President’s residence to seek his advice on “very many issues of governance”.

He said: “You know Baba is our leader and statesman. It’s always good to come around to see how he is doing, pay homage and consult him on very many issues of governance. That is why we have come this afternoon.”

“We shall continue to learn from him, drink from his wealth of experience and fountain of his knowledge and wisdom on issues of governance and challenges of today.”
