Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo landed in Minna, Niger State, on Sunday evening, heading directly to the hilltop residence of former Military President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB).
According to Daily Trust, Obasanjo’s flight landed in Minna at approximately 4:15 pm aboard a chartered aircraft.
He had previously been in Benin City to celebrate with Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion on his 90th birthday.
Upon arriving in Minna, Obasanjo joined a gathering at Babangida’s residence, where he was met by other prominent figures including former Head of State General, Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) and former National Security Adviser (NSA), General Aliyu Gusau (rtd).
The purpose of Obasanjo’s visit remains unclear, but the high-profile meeting of these distinguished individuals has sparked speculation about its significance in the political landscape.
A source familiar with the visit said the four elderstatesmen held a closed door meeting that lasted for about an hour after which Obasanjo left Minna around 6:20pm.
The source said, “The meeting might not be unconnected with national issues especially the current hardship being faced by Nigerians. But I am not confirming to you what was discussed.
“Obasanjo arrived Minna in company of 10 people and he drove straight to IBB’s residence. He was joined by General Abdulsalami Abubakar and General Aliyu Gusau. The former president came in a chattered aircraft and landed at Minna Airport.”
