President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday held a closed-door meeting with a former Abia State Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, Plateau Governor, Solomon Lalong, and Communication Minister, Adebayo Shittu at his Daura country home.
The meeting was held shortly after Kalu was conferred with a chieftaincy title of “Danbaiwan Hausa ” by the Emir of Daura, Dr. Farouq Umar Farouq.
Both Plateau Governor and the Communication minister were among the dignitaries who accompanied Kalu to the Emir’s palace for the conferment of the title.
The trio, shortly after the event, left for President Buhari’s residence.
Shittu, speaking to journalists after the meeting, said he was at the President’s residence to “pay obeisance”.
The minister said: “We were here to pay obeisance. You know the President recently returned from a medical trip abroad.
“The President is not only fit to trek 800 metres as reported by the media, the President is fit mentally and physically to continue to pilot the affairs of our great country.”
Shittu said he attended Kalu’s event to reciprocate his kindness and liberal attitude to all Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion.
