There was heavy security in and around the Akure residence of Reuben Fasoranti, leader of Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, on Wednesday as President Bola Tinubu arrived for a private meeting.
It was only those who had their names on the security that could access the premises of the Yoruba leader, who endorsed Mr Tinubu for President in the February 2023 presidential election.
The president, who came on board a helicopter, landed at the Akure playing ground, Ijapo Estate, at about 2:23 p.m., and arrived at Mr Fasoranti’s residence at exactly 2:32 p.m.
Other eminent personalities at the venue were Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State; Olu Falae, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chieftain of the Afenifere; Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade; and former governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko.
Tinubu pays condolence visit to Akeredolu’s family
Legit.ng earlier reported that on Wednesday, February 28, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu paid a condolence visit to the family of the late Rotimi Akeredolu, former governor of Ondo, in Owo town.
Tinubu was received in Owo, home town of the late Akeredolu, by Lucky Aiyedatiwa, governor of Ondo state, Olayide Adelami, his deputy, and other top politicians.
The president, accompanied by Aiyedatiwa and Adelami, visited Akeredolu’s residence and met with Betty Anyanwu, the deceased’s wife, to condole with her.
‘‘We lost an illustrious son. Akeredolu was very close to me and an ally. He was a son of the soil, and I have come to pay homage,’’ the president said.
