February 11, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday night, met with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at his official residence at the State House, Abuja.
Although the agenda of the meeting was not made public, sources said it might not be unconnected with the suits filed against the redesigned naira notes by Kaduna, Kano and Zamfara States as well as Ondo.
While the meeting ended at about midnight, no statement on the meeting was issued.
The former Lagos Governor had abandoned the ‘Meet the Mentor’ dinner held in his honour by the APC Progressives Sisters Network at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, and apologised to the organisers that he had an important meeting with the president at 9.45p.m.
“I have a superior appointment. Late yesterday, the President called that I should be at his place by 9.45 pm this evening (Friday). What do I do? Cancel it and disobey my President? And it is a command, more or less. (He said) see me at 9.45pm.
“I can’t say I would boycott this event or downgrade it. I have got to be here to, first of all, seek your understanding. That is why there is always a pair for races like this. I have a vice presidential candidate,” he said.
