Former
President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, held a closed-door meeting with former
Military President, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida at his uphill residence in
Minna.
Jonathan
reportedly drove to Minna in a GMC bullet proof SUV with registration number
ABJ 961ER, with eight vehicles in his convoy and arrived at Babangida’s
residence at about 10.00am.
The
meeting between the two leaders, which started few minutes after 10.00am, did
not end until about 12.14pm.
Jonathan
declined to give details of his visit to IBB, saying it was “private and
personal.”
When
pressed further, Jonathan said he was in Minna to commiserate with the former
military leader on his safe return from medical trip abroad.
“I
have not seen General Babangida since he returned from medical vacation and I
felt it was the right time to do so,” Jonathan said.
Asked
to comment on the prevailing political and economic situation in the country,
the former president said he is “a retired politician,” telling the journalists
that, “you people are doing a nice job, you are doing well.”
