I Met Buhari Saturday — Tony Blair; by hamzazayyad1: 3:58pm On Feb 23, 2015
A former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, has
confirmed that he held a private meeting with
the candidate of the All Progressives Congress,
Muhammadu Buhari, in London on Saturday.
There has been speculations in Nigeria that a
picture showing Messrs. Blair, Buhari and
Governor Amosun as well as a former Kwara
state governor, Bukola Saraki, was
photoshopped.
Mr. Buhari’s campaign office had stated that the
former head of state was in the U.K. on a
working visit.
However, Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state and
supporters of the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party, are claiming that Mr. Buhari is in the UK
for medical treatment.
To buttress their claim, some of the critics
claimed Mr. Blair was not in the U.K. on Saturday
and could therefore not have met Mr. Buhari.
PREMIUM TIMES Monday contacted the office of
Mr. Blair for confirmation and we got a response
that the meeting actually held.
“Mr. Blair had a private meeting with General
Muhammadu Buhari in London,” said Rianne
Buter in an email response to PREMIUM TIMES’
inquiry.
Ms. Buter also said Mr. Blair “hopes to visit
Nigeria shortly when he will see the President”.
Mr. Buhari’s campaign office also issued a
statement saying the APC candidate “would
hopefully give a talk at the prestigious foreign
policy hub, the Royal Institute of International
Affairs, Chatham House, in London.”
Chatham House has now confirmed that Mr.
Buhari will speak Thursday on the topic:
“Prospects for Democratic Consolidation in
Africa: Nigeria’s Transition”.
Details of the event as posted on the website of
Chatham House also revealed that Mr. Buhari
would speak for one hour between 10 and
11a.m. and the event would be chaired by
Richard Gozney, the British High Commissioner
to Nigeria between 2004 and 2007.
Chatham House encourages interested persons
to send questions to Mr. Buhari via Twitter.
“Send questions for the speaker by using #
CHAfrica on Twitter. A selection will be put to
him during the event,” it said

Only loonies will believe that APC can photoshop Blair into a meeting with GMB when Blair is still alive.
Same loonies did not believe Chibok girls were missing.
Same loonies believe GEJ is the best president of Nigeria ever.
Same loonies believe GEJ can win without rigging.

Earlier, Dr Idris Ahmed shared this:
"The story below reached us this morning
(23/02/2015). It came from one of our reliable
sources in Nigeria. It is one of the most disturbing
stories that we have yet received. Read it and make
your own judgement!

“I have it on a strong ground that there is a plan to
capture a Shekau before the week to elections. And
the captured Shekau who is currently undergoing
training on what to say and do will mention Buhari
as one of their core sponsors. The target according
to the source is to discourage Southern voters and
the Northern Christians (from liking Buhari). The
confession is alleged to be so perfectly planned that
Buhari may even be arrested and even those who
love him may think twice (about his sincerity). The
sum of 4.5 billion Naira is purportedly budgeted.
The purpose of this budget I am told is for bribing
some Northern clerics so when the time comes,
they will pacify their followers (to reject Buhari as he
is BoKo Haram sponsor). There will purportedly be
audio of phone calls (between Buhari and the Boko
Haram leaders). Buhari will not be able to sue the
government since it will be an arranged confession
of a captured terrorist. Now, I am not saying this
(leak) is true. But knowing how desperate these
PDP people are, they can do just anything to get
Buhari out of the way. Honestly, I am deeply, deeply,
deeply, worried. In fact, I am troubled. Kindly share
this and let the world know about this evil
machination of the PDP before it is too late. Kindly
do it. The person who gave me this information is
an Intelligence officer with the Army. He looks
worried too.”

Fayose should bury his head in Jo's rump, and advice his co travellers on Nairaland to do the same.
