Immediate
past president, President Goodluck Jonathan, paid a secret visit to
President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday,
August 6.
According to Punch Newspapers, the clandestine meeting was held inside the President’s official residence.
This
would be the first time Jonathan would be visiting the Presidential
Villa since he left in the morning of May 29 for the Eagles Square where
Buhari took his oath of office and allegiance as his (Jonathan’s)
successor.
The
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi
Adesina, confirmed Jonathan’s visit and meeting with Buhari to our
correspondent on Sunday.
Adesina, however, said he was not privy to the subject of discussion at the meeting.
A top Presidency official also confided in our correspondent that the meeting was strictly between Buhari and Jonathan.
He said the visit was made discreetly to the extent that photographs were not taken.
“Nobody
was with them. I am sure they don’t want the visit to be an item in the
media. That probably explains why the former president visited at night
and went straight to the residence. They met for a few minutes in the
President’s residence,” the official said
