Tinubu returns to Warri, parleys Tompolo, ex-militant leaders

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will today, November 25, meet with former militant leaders in the oil-rich Niger Delta.

Tinubu and his team would hold a strategic discussion with High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo on Friday.
