“One thing that is for sure, is that the entire world is going through challenges that are global challenges, economic challenges, health challenges. And when you are in a situation like this, as I usually opined, we should do less of partisan contestation, all of us must come together to support whoever is in power.
“And what we have decided to do is to come and give our support to the president so that jointly, we can continuously navigate the country, that is what is relevant,” the former governor said.
Also at the meeting with the President on Monday was the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, who also hails from Ogun State.
