Obasanjo, President Buhari exchange pleasantries at AU Meeting
President Muhammadu Buhari and Nigeria’s former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo have met for the first time after the letter terse between the two leaders at the African Union, AU, meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
You will recall that former President, Obasanjo had recently written a terse letter to Buhari that he should honorably forget the intention of contesting for the presidential election in 2019, citing poor leadership in managing the economy of the nation and a recent issue of 73 people killed in Benue State.
Buhari, however, in a diplomatic tone replied Obasanjo through his minister of Information and Culture, Lai Muhammed, saying that the former president must have been very busy for him not to have noticed the achievements of the president.
