Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s chopper landed within the premises of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, OOPL, Abeokuta, Ogun State at exactly 10:24 am today, and is meeting former president Olusegun Obasanjo at his penthouse.
Osinbajo is in the state to share perspectives on engendering democratic governance in West Africa at a high-level dialogue.
The Coalition for Dialogue on Africa (CoDA), organisers of the event, in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, said it was in furtherance to ongoing efforts by leaders across West Africa to contain threats to democracy in the region.
The dialogue tagged, ‘West Africa: Rising To The Challenge Of Consolidating Democratic Governance’, will hold at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta on Monday and Tuesday and hosted by the former president himself.
Escorted by the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, and others, Osinbajo was later received by Obasanjo as they proceeded to the venue prepared for the meeting.
Osinbajo is expected to deliver the keynote address while other participants comprising leaders across West Africa and Obasanjo, Chairperson of CoDA board of directors, will make contributions physically and virtually.
The vice president will be speaking on the theme: “Rising to the Challenge of Consolidating Democratic Governance.”
