Former Governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, on Thursday, visited former President Olusegun Obasanjo behind closed doors.

The former Borno governor visited the former president at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

He however did not disclose to reporters the details of his discussions with Obasanjo.

Sheriff only stated that he came for a consultation and had a private chat with the former president.

He described Obasanjo as the Chairman and Chief Executive of Nigeria.

Sheriff said; “It is purely a private visit, you know Baba (Obasanjo) is an elder statesman. If Nigeria is a company, Baba is the Chairman and Chief Executive of Nigeria. So, I came for a consultation and had a private chat with Baba,”

“I’m the younger one, so from time to time, I must come and greet my father, discuss with him, privately and go back,” he added

Sheriff urged young politicians to tap from the experience and knowledge of Obasanjo.
