Tinubu meets Abdulsalami Abubakar, ex-CBN governor, Sanusi in Villa
President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, met a former military head of state, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.), at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Abubakar who recently turned 81, visited Tinubu 48 hours after former President Goodluck Jonathan was at the Villa to brief the President on developments in Mali.
Although the agenda of the meeting was not made public, it was gathered that the former military leader may have dropped by for a courtesy visit.
Months ago, Abubakar chaired the National Peace Committee that brought all major candidates in the February 25 presidential election to sign a peace accord to minimize tension during and after the polls.
Also, the 14th Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, met President Tinubu at the State House, Abuja.
Sanusi, a former Central Bank Governor, arrived at the Villa a few minutes before 05:00 pm.
His visit came barely one week after the President suspended the immediate past Governor of Nigeria’s apex bank, Godwin Emefiele.
Although the agenda of their engagement was not made public, both men met for the first time since Tinubu assumed the presidency on May 29, 2023.
