PHOTO NEWS: Buhari In Historic Handshake With Fayose, Obasanjo

There may have be an alignment of political interest as the supposed political enemies, Governor Fayose and former President Olusegun Obasanjo and President Muhammadu Buhari today had good moments together.

Shortly before the National Council of State Meeting, the President was seen today handshaking Fayose and Obasanjo at the State House separately with such a welcoming smile at duo.

He also exchanged pleasantries with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, the Lagos state Governor of the same ruling party with the President.

Remarkably, this is the first time Fayose will be seen publicly in such a good mood with Buhari in a long time especially after the latter he returned from his over 100 days medical trip to United Kingdom.

In fact, Fayose is arguably the greatest serving critic for Buhari as he was alleged to have a wish that Buhari should die before he returns from that last medical trip.

Obasanjo, on the other hand, has in recent times been in public confrontation against President Buhari – led government.

He wrote a open letter to him last month pointing out his failure as the President even when Nigerians expected so much from him.

Today’s meeting that ended couple of minutes ago may mark the genesis of what will play out in 2019 as no one knows yet whether or not President Buhari will seek reelection.
