Buhari meets Abdulsalami Abubakar in Aso Rock

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday met behind closed door
with former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd), at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the meeting took place
immediately after President Buhari received letters of credence
from the Ambassador of Niger to Nigeria, Mr. Alat Mogaskia; the
High Commissioner of Ghana, Mr. Rashid Bawa; and that of Apostolic
Nuncio of the Holy See to Nigeria, Most Rev. Archbishop Antonio
Guido Filipazzi.

The former Head of State declined to speak to State House
correspondents after the meeting, which lasted for less than one
hour.

NAN reports that barely 90 minutes after his meeting with
Abdulsalami, the President also met behind closed doors with two
chieftains of the All Progressives Congress — Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
and Chief Bisi Akande.

NAN reliably gathered that the two APC chieftains were in the
Villa to console the President, who lost two members of his
extended family in Daura recently.

NAN observed that Tinubu was visiting the Presidential Villa for
the first time since his appointment by President Buhari as APC
Chief Mediator. (NAN)
