Instead, the sources stated that the meeting was a friendly one that came about as a result of the age-long relationship between the former Lagos governor and the state's Attorney-General and commissioner for justice.
In a statement sent to Legit.ng, one of the sources said:
“The fact that both leaders contested against each other at the primaries does not make them enemies because I know the vice-president is an ‘Owolabi’.
”He has high regard for BAT, who I also know to be very close to the vice president, and this he has demonstrated at different times.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Osinbajo’s visit to Tinubu was merely in the spirit of the Christmas season.
“Besides, such a visit can be best termed as reciprocal after Tinubu paid the vice president a similar visit in the past."
A political analyst who did not want his name mentioned noted that it is only customary, in the spirit of Christmas, for leaders to exchange visits and nothing less.
