Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari reportedly met with his predecessor, former President Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday evening in his official residence at Aso Rock, Abuja.
The closed meeting door reportedly took place at 9 pm on Thursday, barely 24 hours after Jonathan made an unexpected return from Côte d’Ivoire where he was said to be holidaying.
A top Presidency source, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed in Abuja last night that the meeting, which was described as “private,” held at about 9pm.
The meeting is believed to have centred on the renewed violence in the Niger Delta being perpetrated by a group called the Niger Delta Avengers.
According to the source: “The two leaders met. The meeting was a private one. I believe it has to do with the militants’ attacks in the Niger Delta.
“The former President must have offered useful suggestions and assistance on the way out.”
