After leaving Kenya, he joined other African leaders, investors, and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of global and African companies at the Africa CEO Forum in Rwanda, where he discussed practical ways to accelerate Africa’s economic transformation.
He also met with Rwandan President Paul Kagame, delegations from multilateral and multinational companies, including the International Finance Corporation, APM Terminals, and the Winme Group, with notable favourable outcomes.
Onanuga disclosed that Tinubu will participate in the All Progressives Congress primary elections, which will commence on Saturday.
“He had earlier, in a statement to party faithful, called on all participants in the primaries to ‘keep the peace and be ready to play as sportsmen and women in the overall interest of the party and our country’,” said Onanuga.
