Tanimu Turaki, national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, led a delegation to former President Olusegun Obasanjo's residence in Abeokuta on Saturday. The visit aimed to discuss party matters, as Turaki later explained the purpose. He emphasized that ousting the All Progressives Congress from power would be challenging.

On December 13, 2025, Tanimu Turaki (SAN), the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), arrived at the residence of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State, leading a PDP delegation. The visit occurred earlier in the day, with photos capturing the arrival.

Following the meeting, Turaki addressed reporters, explaining the reasons for the visit. He stated that sacking the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Aso Rock, the seat of Nigeria's presidency, 'will not be a tea party,' highlighting the difficulties ahead for the opposition in upcoming political battles.

Obasanjo, a prominent figure in Nigerian politics and a former PDP member, has often been consulted by party leaders on strategic issues. This encounter underscores ongoing efforts by the PDP to strengthen its position against the ruling APC. No further details on the discussion's outcomes were immediately available from the sources.
