Goodluck Jonathan Holds Secret Meeting With Gen. Buhari

Goodluck Jonathan has again met behind closed doors with the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari. The meeting was held inside the President’s office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

This is the third time he would be meeting Buhari after INEC declared him winner of the presidential poll. The meeting, which held at night, just like the first one they had on a public holiday (Good Friday), was described as “private” and so it was not open to journalists.

Gen. Buhari arrived for the meeting in a convoy of about four cars at about 9pm.

According to Aso Rock sources, the meeting lasted less than 30minutes. 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.

At the end of their second meeting, Jonathan had told State House correspondents that a date would be picked during which he would conduct Buhari round the Presidential Villa before his inauguration day.

But the APC is not ready for such excursion from Jonathan. They believe Buhari knows Aso Rock well.
