Former Nigerian president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo had made it clear that he actually had a meeting behind the closed door with President Goodluck Jonathan and that the meeting was only based on the insecurity state of the Country.
It was understood earlier this week that Obasanjo traveled to visit President Jonathan in Aso Rock and different suggestions has arised why such visit and the prompted meeting should be behind the closed door.
There seem to be frosty relationship between the two Nigerian leaders. Suggestions has surrounded the un-announced visit to Abuja by the former President that the meeting was held to settle the dispute. But on the contrary, Obasanjo said they did not discuss any issue other than the security.
While attending to the reporters at his Hilltop home after his arival, he said:
“Yes, I can confirm that I met with Mr. President on his invitation. In fact, he had wanted to come to Abeokuta, but as a sign of respect to the Office of the President, I had to go. We had discussion on the country’s security issues and that is all.”
The former Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) has view days ago backed the Federal Government over the effort to curb the spread of Ebola Virus Disease. Also on the recent ethnic crisis in Nasarawa between the Eggon and Fulanis, he said:
“there is no way, such will not happen, but the two state governments should come up with a lasting solution. The farmers would want their crops to be protected, while the cattle men will also want their cattle to feed. So, the government should fashion out peaceful means to end the crisis.”
