Ex-President Goodluck Johnathan Visits IBB and Abdulsalam At Residences In Minna

On the second day of Sallah holiday, former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, was in Minna, the Niger State capital, during which he met separately with former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamsi Babangida (rtd) and former military Head of State General, Abdulsalami Abubakar(rtd).

Jonathan was reported to have come to the state capital in company of Alhaji Bashir Yuguda and Mr. Mike Oghaidome, two prominent members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The first port of call of Jonathan, according to THISDAY correspondence, was the residence of Babangida at the Hilltop in Minna at about 11a.m.

He was said to have met with the former military ruler for about 40 minutes ‘upstairs’ while those who accompanied him waited in one of the sitting rooms downstairs.

Insiders at the residence say that  immediately the duo finished their meeting, Jonathan moved straight to the residence of Abdulsalami, a stone throw from that of Babangida.

It was learnt that Jonathan stayed longer at Abubakar’s residence because he left the place at about 1p.m. and drove back to Abuja.
