President Jonathan And General Buhari Hold Secret Meeting

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on Wednesday night met behind closed doors with the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari. The meeting was held inside the President’s office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, making it the third time the two personalities would be meeting after the announcement of Buhari as the winner of the March 28 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)

The meeting, just like the first one they had on a public holiday (Good Friday), was described as “private” and so it was not opened to journalists.

Buhari was said to have arrived for the meeting in a convoy of about four cars at about 9pm.
The meeting was said to have lasted less than 30 minutes.

Although there was no official communication on the meeting, it might not be unconnected with the ongoing transition programmes and preparation for Buhari’s inauguration on May 29.
