FORMER President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday met separately with a former military dictator, Ibrahim Babangida, and a former military Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, at their Hilltop residences in Minna, the Niger State capital.
It was gathered that Jonathan arrived Babangida’s residence at about 11am and spent about one hour with his host before he left for Abubakar’s house situated right opposite IBB’s home.
Jonathan was accompanied to the two former Nigerian leaders by a former Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda, from Zamfara State and his former Chief of Staff, Chief Mike Oghiadome, from Edo State.
Babangida received Jonathan in his private living room as against the common visitors’ room located downstairs where he usually received ordinary visitors.
The details of the discussions between the former Nigerian leaders were not made known to journalists.
But it was gathered that IBB and Jonathan held a closed-door meeting for about 50 minutes. While the meeting was going on, it was gathered that Yuguda and Oghiadome were left at the living room downstairs.
It was observed that while the meeting lasted at both residences of the two former leaders, visitors were not allowed into the houses.
Jonathan left Minna at about 1pm.
