Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday met behind closed doors with former Vice-President Namadi Sambo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Sambo was vice-president to former President Goodluck Jonathan during the last administration.
The meeting of the two leaders, which was held inside the President’s office, lasted about 25 minutes.
The former vice-president arrived the Presidential Villa at about 12:00 noon and went straight into the President’s office.
He left the premises at about 12.25pm.
“It was a a private meeting,” Sambo simply told State House correspondents before stepping into his waiting car.
Sambo has not been a regular visitor to the Presidential Villa since he and Jonathan left office on May 29, 2015
He had, in 2017, visited Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo in his office; while he also joined Buhari for a Jumat service in commemoration of the nation’s independence last year.
The meeting of the two leaders came barely 24 hours after Osinbajo openly accused the administration Sambo served of “grand corruption.” (Punch. Photo: Aminiya, Daily Trust)
