The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, and former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday held a secret meeting in Lagos.
Our correspondent learnt that the
meeting which held at the Presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed
Airport, lasted for almost an hour.
The meeting, it was learnt, was the
first meeting the two would have since Buhari was declared winner of the
presidential election on April 1.
It was learnt that Buhari and other All
Progressives Congress leaders had come to Lagos for a thank you visit
and to campaign for the party’s governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi
Ambode, but had a meeting with Obasanjo before setting out to campaign
in the Orile area of the state.
A member of the President-elect’s
entourage said, “Gen. Buhari and former President Obasanjo were in the
inner lounge of the presidential wing of the airport where they held a
secret meeting for almost an hour.
“The National Chairman of the party,
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Governor Rotimi Amaechi, Senator Chris Ngige
and many of us were made to stay at the main lounge throughout the
meeting. We do not really know what was discussed but it must have been
very sensitive.”
Meanwhile, the Northern Christian Leaders Eagle Eyes Forum, has said the group was not surprised that Buhari won the poll.
The group had before the election
endorsed Buhari to the consternation of the Christian Association of
Nigeria led by Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor. read more
