MINNA—Former President, Olusegun
Obasanjo, yesterday paid a surprise
visit on former Military President,
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, who
just returned from a medical
treatment in Germany after two
months.
Obasanjo was in Minna to visit the
recuperating Babangida, while Atiku,
who had visited the former military
President was in the town to attend
the Presidential declaration of Sam
Nda-Isaiah of All Progressives
Congress, APC. Obasanjo, who arrived in a plane with
registration number G DOUR, along
with Senator Andy Uba, Chief Ayo
Fasawe and an unidentified lady at
about 4:30pm, was about to be
conveyed to IBB’s house when his
attention was drawn to the presence
of Atiku at the airport.
The former Vice President, who was
already seated awaiting clearance
for his flight, had to stop the pilot,
alighted and headed straight for the
waiting car to ferry Obasanjo out of
the airport, where the two leaders
hugged each other.
A black BMW car with registration
number ABJ 01 RJ, then took Obasanjo
to the uphill residence of Babangida in
company of Mohammed Babangida, son
of the former Military President.
At IBB’s residence, journalists were
barred from entering but a source
within told our correspondent that
Obasanjo only came on a solidarity
visit to IBB.
The two leaders met only for about 30
minutes before Obasanjo left for the
airport. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/11/obj-visits-ibb-reconciles-atiku/
