In advance of the 2023 elections, Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), paid a visit to former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, according to Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation in Nigeria.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima, his running mate, paid Jonathan a visit on Tuesday, along with other APC power players.

The visiting comes months after rumors surfaced that Jonathan might receive the APC’s presidential ticket ahead of the national elections of 2023. After a group bought the ruling party’s nomination form for the former president, the rumor gained momentum.

However, once Jonathan did not appear for the APC’s presidential screening, the rumors were put to rest.

Fani-Kayode made reference to the visitation on Twitter, saying that what Tinubu and Jonathan did on Tuesday showed the world that they both have class and can lead with integrity.

Following his defection to the APC, Fani-Kayode, who is well known for his criticism of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), praised Jonathan’s demeanor and management style.

He admitted that the PDP leader is one of Nigeria’s best developments.

The APC chieftain tweeted: “Goodluck Jonathan is one of the most civilised, compassionate, capable & humane leaders that this country has ever known.

“I believed it in 2015 & I believe it today. I am delighted that Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, our incoming President and Vice President respectively, had the presence of mind, maturity, decency & humility to honour him with a visit yesterday in order to brief him about their efforts & plans for our collective future as a nation & to pay their respects.
