Former Presidents
Former Nigerian Presidents; Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, General
Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) and General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) on
Tuesday, met behind closed doors in Minna, the Niger State capital.
According to The Leadership, the meeting which lasted for over two
hours was held at the hilltop home of former military president, IBB.
It was gathered that visitors who usually besiege Babangida’s house
were streamlined, with some of them stopped from entering the house
ahead of the arrival of former President Obasanjo at about 3:00pm
yesterday.
Before the arrival of Obasanjo, former head of state, General Abubakar was already in IBB’s house waiting.
On arrival, Niger State governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, received
Obasanjo at Minna airport and took him to IBB home at hill top without
official retinue.
Sources disclosed that the governor led Obasanjo to the inner chamber where the duo of IBB and Abubakar were waiting.
It was learnt that after the usual pleasantries, even the closest
domestic and security staff in the house were excused from the inner
chamber at the time the meeting went into closed door.
The Niger State governor who had initially received Obasanjo later
left the three elder statesmen who met for over two hours before
Obasanjo left the state at about 6pm.
Details of the meeting were still not known at the time of writing
this report, but a source close to one of the former leaders told our
correspondent that the former leaders may have discussed some crucial
national issues.
