So Premium Times is bringing in an exclusive report, different from everything we have heard. According to Premium Times, a family source said Obanikro only met with Tinubu for reconciliation and he is still very much in PDP. Below is how the media house reports it.
A former junior minister for defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, has not defected to the All Progressives Congress contrary to reports and rumours particularly on social media, family sources and close associates to the politician have told Premium Times.
“The former minister remains a strong member of the Peoples Democratic Party,” an impeccable source who did not want to be named said Sunday night.
“He only met with Asiwaju Tinubu for reconciliation,” he added.
Reports that Mr. Obanikoro, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, had decamped to the ruling APC surfaced in the media this weekend, with many of the reports crediting Mr. Tinubu as having brokered the move.
Mr. Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, was said to have received Mr. Obanikoro at his residence in Lagos and prevailed on him to decamp to the party.
But Premium Times can now report that the defection was yet to happen, even though it was not entirely ruled out.
