President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday had a secret meeting with a former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.), at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The closed door meeting took place inside the President’s office.
This is the second time the two leaders would be meeting this month.
They had earlier met on August 23 before Gowon travelled out of the country.
The former military warlord, however, declined speaking to reporters after the Thursday meeting.
Few weeks ago, Gowon reflected on the state of the nation and came with a verdict that Nigeria is “walking in the wilderness.”
Gowon, who spoke in Abuja, during the thanksgiving service to commemorate 20th anniversary of “Nigeria Prays”, a prayer movement for the country, advised Nigerians to continue to pray.
He had said, “When you ask what prayers has God been answering, you think of all the problems and crisis that we have had in the country and the way the good Lord has been able to ensure that they all are peacefully resolved until we create another problem for ourselves.”
