President Muhammadu Buhari has received former president of
Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in the Aso Rock presidential villa on April 7,
Thursday.
Ex-president is a frequent visitor to Aso Rock since Buhari became the president.
Obasanjo has visited the incumbent president four times since
the inauguration on May 29, 2015. The first visit was on August 8 and next on
September 8 and November 10.
The two politicians did not get along very well when Obasanjo was the president. Buhari lost to Obasanjo in the 2003 presidential poll and lost again to president Umaru Yaradua who was endorsed by Obasanjo four years later. Those two elections were marred by irregularities.
Meanwhile, the relationship between two Nigerian leaders has
become more cordial in recent times ever since Obasanjo endorsed Buhari in the
buildup to the March 2015 election.
The details of the today’s closed door meeting are currently
unknown.
