Three former Nigeria military heads of State on Sunday (today, September 15) met behind closed doors in Minna, the Niger State capital in what a source close to them said was a crucial meeting.
They are former President Olusegun Obasanjo who flew in to join the two others, former military president Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and General Abdulsalami Abubakar.
The meeting which our source said took place at the uphill residence of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida also had in attendance former National Security Adviser General Aliyu Gusau.
General Babangida, Abdulsalami and Gusau had gathered at the Uphill residence of Babangida and were later joined by former President Obasanjo.
Although details of the meeting were not known, it was speculated to be around the general situation in the country.
Also the building tension ahead of the Edo governorship election and the refusal of the PDP to sign a Peace Accord were parts of the issues discussed at the meeting, the source also said.
According to him, the meeting lasted about two hours after which former President Obasanjo returned to Abuja.
Another source close to the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Airport in Minna told a Daily Sun correspondent that former President Obasanjo arrived at the airport at about 4.30pm in a Gulfstream 5 aircraft believed to have been chartered and
departed in the same aircraft at exactly 6.30pm.
He was received at the airport by some protocol officers from the Niger State Government house and driven straight to Babangida’s Uphill residence to join the three other generals.
The Niger State government protocol department provided the vehicles that took the former president to the Uphill and back to the airport.
