If you ask the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, to choose between a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari and a dinner, his response is highly predictable.
This simple choice played out on Friday evening.
Indeed, it is 14 days to the February 25 elections and President Muhammadu Buhari has requested that Tinubu should have a meeting with him.

In the request, President Buhari asked that they meet at his official residence at the State House.
A Superior Appointment
This invitation is coming on a day Tinubu is supposed to be at a dinner.
In response to the summons, Bola Tinubu abandoned the ‘Meet the mentor’ dinner held in his honour by the APC Progressives Sisters Network at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.
According to the Jagaban of Lagos, he had a superior appointment with the president at 9.45 pm.
Tinubu in his closing address said: “I have a superior appointment. Late yesterday (Friday), the president called that I should be at his place by 9.45 pm.
“What do I do? Cancel it and disobey my president?
“And it is a command, more or less. (He said) see me at 9.45 pm.

“I have got to be here too, first of all, seek your understanding.
“That is why there is always a pair for races like this. I have a vice presidential candidate”.
As of the time of filing this report, the detail of the meeting has not been revealed by either party.
