Abdulsalami, chairman of the National Peace Committee, met with the president amid the spike in banditry and kidnappings in the country.
In October 2020, during the #EndSARS protests, Abdulsalami and other former Nigerian leaders met with Buhari.
The virtual meeting held at the council chambers of the presidential villa, Abuja.
Former leaders who participated in the meeting were Yakubu Gowon, Olusegun Obasanjo, Abdulsalami Abubakar, Goodluck Jonathan, and Ernest Shoneken.
