President Muhammadu Buhari and former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday night met behind closed doors inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The meeting, which was held at the private residence of the President held to discuss the Niger Delta crisis took place around 9PM on Thursday.
Sahara reporters had revealed that the former president abruptly left his home hometown Otueke less than 24 hours after returning from Cote D'Ivoire.
A source told Sahara reporters that President Buhari reassured the former president of his highest regards and made it clear to him that there was no plan to arrest him or his wife, Patience over the ongoing corruption clampdown.
The meeting Sahara reporters learnt was brokered by former President Olusegun Obasanjo shortly after news broke that Jonathan had taken refuge in Abidjan fearing that he would be arrested in he returned to Nigeria. Obasanjo who was in Lesotho at the time reportedly intervened on Jonathan's behalf. Obasanjo too met President Buhari earlier today in the Villa behind closed doors.
No aide joined the two leaders for the closed-door parley.
My Hero @GEJ
ReplyDeleteSay @baba it is well
@Galore
My GEJ is untouchable!
ReplyDeleteNa dem sabi. Who dr meetin help
ReplyDeleteAbeg their meeting will help solve a lot of issues. This one that the avengers have threatened to launch a ballistic missile on the 7th of June to attack the air space. They've warned that planes mustn't fly. Whether they'll make true their threat or not, we wouldn't want to wait to find out. Serious dialogue is needed. At least Jonathan can use this medium to rewrite the wrong he did his people while he was in power. If they think he didn't help them back then, now is the time to appease them. Biko I no wan war o. If not na to carry my passport comot for this country.
DeleteSisi eko you get passport? Liar! Wetin you they feel like?
DeleteBuahahahahahahahaha.
DeleteNahh. I don't have a passport. Since having a passport is a privilege from where u come from. Life must be tough for u eh, I empathise with you. Pele
Osetigo
ReplyDeleteEchem na buhari kporo akpo ka chin chin
Ikwakwakwa
Buhari and Jonathan be having private meeting, Nigerians be fighting over APC and PDP or GEJ and PMB
ReplyDeleteThief wan catch thief, ok nah.
ReplyDeleteObj is d Don Chichio
ReplyDeleteStrongest black man alive
As it is now I don't even think GEJ can talk sense into those Avengers cause they're clearly fighting for their right.
ReplyDeleteBuhari should stop being proud and speak to the militants himself
And enough with the OBJ intervened shit cause we all know Buhari has no power and balls to arrest GEJ
Try it if you can Bubu
Lmao
Fighting for their right!? If you say miscreants threatening to blow up planes are fighting for their rights then you probably believe boko haram are also fighting for their rights.
DeleteThey said they don't want to negotiate. All they want is an independent Niger Delta. Same as boko haram. What do you want the government to tell them again?
Which yeye right are they fighting for? They are not speaking for the whole Niger Delta, so they should keep quiet. Bloody bunch of brainless thugs with silly name...Niger Delta Avengers my ass
DeleteBoko haram is fighting for Islamic freedom while Niger delta region needs to be free from this force marriage called Nigeria.
DeleteThis isn't even the time to prove who has power or not. OBJ has no other job again in this country than to broker peace between themselves.
DeleteDialogue, dialogue, Dialogue, that is all they need. Nobody should feel too big to have a round table discussion. Not even Mr President. If the avengers get away with threatening the nation, other groups will emerge and feel they can do same. Before you know it, Nigeria will just break apart and we can't afford that right now oh.
Dumb write up..very dumb
DeleteSomeone on this blog hinted sometime ago that GEJ is the one ratting all these looters.
ReplyDeleteMake una dey here dey fight PMB GEJ nonsense.
They are working together,thats why they won't arrest him.
Very correct,they are ruling this country together. Not like I mind though but they should fix my dear country that's all.
DeleteObj feeling like god
ReplyDeleteBubu will not arrest Gej, for what nah hian
Stell, thought they said dey'll announce looters name yesterday or today
Buhari want GEJ to beg those militants but you Buhari didn't caution your boko brothers during his time...instead,you and your party members called him several names!...
ReplyDeleteSee oga president,you are just wasting your time with Jona cos those boys no send him too...
They are your karma!...deal with it!,..
Nyoorrr!...
Fool, Buhari no be BV,he won't read ur message. anu ewu
DeleteAnonymous, kitikpa gbagbue gi there idiot.but atleast you his ass licker has read it. Let me see you come under my queen n boss to misyarn again. Mschwweee
DeleteAll u will still do is rant like useless bitch. I don't speak ibo sorry,I don't even understand ur local rant!! Pathetic excuse of a human being. Waste of sperm and egg ,do us all a favour and use condom,u can't afford to reproduce fools pls. We already have enough of u.see who dey advice Buhari
DeletePolitics, no friends no enemies. These two are having "Closed doors meeting" while some loud mouth are busy killing themselves shouting APC PDP mtewww.
ReplyDeleteGood, all we want is peace and economic turn around.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! I thought PMB is tough! you can't fight corruption when your own members are corrupt as well. Clean your house first before cleaning your environment. Yes! you need GEJ to talk to those NDA militants because you did not do the right thing! You refused to dialogue, you sent your VP to them, why? Nah Osinbanjo good to collect bullets ba! Nobody likes war but when you seem to act as if you are above everyone, forgetting why you were voted in , then you will be schooled! Rubbish! Nothing is working right now in Nigeria! Why? People get laid off from work, no decent jobs for graduates, no power, no good roads, just paths!, no good healthcare systems but mushrooms clinic and shops where fake medications are sold, No security. The cost of living has gone up yet the civil servants salaries has not increased! But the senate gets a fat pay! I believe it is the right time for military to step in or what the USA predicted will come to pass!
ReplyDeleteGood for them
ReplyDeleteOK.....
ReplyDeleteNow buhari needs help. I no see any help him offer jonathan during his time. Shame on him. The damage has already been done.
ReplyDeleteNa wa ooo...so who is going to give us feedback stella???
ReplyDeleteWhere is bitchpliz sef???
Hmm.. Sahara reporters, I hail.
ReplyDeleteI do not like their faces. Nigeria full of promising stars keep vomitting mediocres as leaders.......tueh!
ReplyDeleteProbably GEJ will serve as mediator in a deal that will see him keeping his loots and reputation......Whatever!
Nigeria is ticking! We can keep postponing doom's day......but if we do not stop playing the ostrich, well, we will keep patching problems in a house with an extremely shaky foundation. I though Bubu has mega balls......now he is no different from past misleaders who seek treatment of symptoms rather than causes.
I am ranting......i did not read the content of this post. Thankfully...tomatoes is back.
You guys keep saying 'I thought Buhari was tough". But u keep forgetting that he cannot act like a military man by giving certain instructions..else Nigerians will call him a dictator. He's only treading with caution, it's not about fear.
DeleteTomatoes?
DeleteNice one!!! I'm gladddd
If you believe Sahara reporters then u can believe anything
ReplyDeleteOga president if person too talk nah mad person dem Dey call am... We are tired of your long stories of you arresting Jonathan...
ReplyDeleteNow we know why Baba was in aso rock, to plead on behalf of the thief and careless ex President so that he can stop running and hiding all over like fugitive. Its just a matter of time. This is one of the reasons Baba pleaded with Buhari not release names provided people like him and his power drunk wife has returned part of their loot. Awon ole.
ReplyDeleteNo one said they wanted to arrest Jonathan in the first place. The media instigated that report and it went viral. Simply because his closest aid was arrested, then the media just sensationalised the news.
DeleteAra oko ibadan,it seems you believe Jonathan is the cause of all the failures you've had in life. Just go stand in front of a mirror and look deeply. You will see clearly the root cause.
DeleteHahaha
DeleteThis Yemi is just a strong bUliever.
I like people that stand for what they believe in...though with less insults sha...
The country situation don make everybody vex.
GEJ is a good man. I pray to be humble like him.
ReplyDeleteBTW....buhari looks sick.
The bird is in the net ooooooo, do not let it out hahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteIf you have liver arrest Gej Bubu as he's in the villa,
make your eye see wetin eeh dey find.
Mcheeeeeeeeeeew.
If no aide joined in the closed door meeting, how did the 'source' get the info he leaked to Sahara reporters?
ReplyDeleteI have always known that Buhari cannot succumb to advice to arrest Jonathan or his wife. Matter of fact, at the end Jonathan would be made an emissary of the federal government to the Niger Delta.
ReplyDelete@Sisi,i equally don't want War ooh.
ReplyDeleteI love this country so much.
Lolzz@carry your passport and run.. you are not going anywhere! We are in this together.
You cannot come and want to escape? Mbanuuu
On a serious note,i Pray everything turns out well.
Not in the mood for plenty political talk this fine morning.
Lmao. My dear na my back you dey see so. I can't shout oh!!
