According to Buni’s spokesperson, Mamman Mohammed, the meeting charted a new course for the party as they prepare for the convention.
Addressing reporters at the end of the meeting, Tinubu said the meeting was a consultation to move the party forward following the recent disagreements among some aggrieved members.
He, however, denied any report of differences or rancour, although he said there was no way there would not be dissent in a political association.
On his part, Governor Buni said: “Tinubu is a founding father of this party and one of our leaders. That is all I can say for now.”
The committee had earlier visited Osun state to meet the former interim chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande.
Tinubu recently dismissed insinuations that the dissolution of the APC National Working Committee (NWC) has ended his purported 2023 presidential ambition.
In a statement sent to journalists on Saturday, June 27, the APC national leader said those making the assumptions “have assigned colourful epitaphs to the 2023 death of an alleged political ambition that is not yet even born.”
The respected Lagos politician said he has toiled for the APC and have no problem with making personal sacrifices for the ruling party.
Tinubu has been a subject of mockery in the last few days as some political commentators say his 2023 presidential ambition has been quashed.
Dokun Ojomo wrote on Twitter: No amount of advertisement or public relations cosmetic will safe Tinubu in 2023.
Fatima Adu wrote: Tinubu is a deeply corrupt fellow who has been holding Lagos in bondage for more than 20 years. I've always known his rabid ambition renders him a vulnerable pawn in the hands of the Fulani oligarchy. But beyond his deactivation, we're seeing Arewa's resolve to stay in power in 2023.
