President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met former President Goodluck Jonathan behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.<\/p>\n
The agenda of the meeting with Jonathan, which took place at about 3 pm was not made public.<\/p>\n
Jonathan was appointed last year by the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, as a special envoy to lead the sub-regional body\u2019s mediation mission in Mali.<\/p>\n
He regularly visits Aso Villa to brief President Buhari on his activities as ECOWAS Special Envoy to Mali.<\/p>\n
This is coming less than a few months after both politicians met in Aso Villa.<\/p>\n
Jonathan had visited Buhari at the State House in May to brief the President over the new political crisis in Mali.<\/p>\n
Recall that Mali\u2019s military-dominated government launched a four-day national forum on returning the country to civilian rule on Monday.<\/p>\n
The forum, according to Mali\u2019s transitional President, Colonel Assimi Goita, \u201cwill make an unflinching assessment of the state of the nation and draw the best lessons from it\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
