President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday received his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, at the State House in Abuja following his peace mission to a West African country.
Arriving at the President’s office at about 11am, the former President went into a closed-door with Buhari.
Jonathan is at the State House to update Buhari on his recent international assignment in Mali.
President Jonathan headed the mediation team of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Mali’s lingering political crisis.
ECOWAS recently appointed Dr. Jonathan to head the political reconciliation in Mali where there is leadership tussle.
The Jonathan-led committee had recommended Government of National Unity in the West African nation but the opposition group had turned down the recommendation.
