Former President Goodluck Jonathan
on Thursday evening paid a secret visit
to President Muhammadu Buhari at
the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The meeting was held inside the
President’s official residence.
That was the first time Jonathan would
be visiting the Presidential Villa since
he left in the morning of May 29 for
the Eagles Square where Buhari took
his oath of office and allegiance as his
(Jonathan’s) successor.
The Special Adviser to the President on
Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina,
confirmed Jonathan’s visit and
meeting with Buhari to our
correspondent on Sunday.
Adesina, however, said he was not
privy to the subject of discussion at
the meeting.
A top Presidency official also confided
in our correspondent that the meeting
was strictly between Buhari and
Jonathan.
He said the visit was made discreetly
to the extent that photographs were
not taken.
“Nobody was with them. I am sure
they don’t want the visit to be an item
in the media. That probably explains
why the former president visited at
night and went straight to the
residence. They met for a few minutes
in the President’s residence,” the
official said.
The following day, however, Buhari
also played host to former President
Olusegun Obasanjo.
But unlike Jonathan’s visit, one of the
photographers attached to the
President was able to capture the two
leaders.
It was not clear at press time whether
the two visits were connected.
The present administration had been
investigating some activities of
Jonathan’s administration with
government officials, claiming that the
past administration was characterised
by impunity and large scale corruption.
Apart from probing the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation, the
present administration is also beaming
its searchlight on the management of
the Excess Crude Account under
Jonathan.
Some former aides of the ex-President
such as his National Security Adviser,
Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.); his Chief
Security Officer, Mr. Gordon Obuah;
and the former Director-General of
Nigerian Maritime Administration and
Safety Agency, Dr. Patrick
Akpobolokemi, have either been
arrested, detained or investigated.
On May 27, less than 48 hours to the
end of his tenure, Jonathan had
advised Buhari not to single out his
administration in any probe.
He said all those advising Buhari to
probe his administration must also
advise him to extend his probe beyond
his regime or else, the probe will be
seen as witch-hunting.
Jonathan said, “Some people are even
calling for the probe of this
government. I agree that in Nigeria,
there are a number of things that we
will probe, many things.
“Even debts owed by states and this
nation from 1960 up to this time, they
are saying it is Jonathan’s
administration that is owing all the
debts. I believe that anybody calling for
probe must ensure that these probes
are extended beyond the Jonathan
administration, otherwise to me, it will
be witch-hunting.
“If you are very sincere, then it is not
just the Jonathan’s administration that
should be probed. A number of things
have gone wrong and we have done
our best to fix them. The Attorney-
General is aware of massive
judgments debts, if we aggregate all of
them, it is about $1billion.
“How did we come to this kind of huge
judgment debts? These issues should
be probed. How do you allocate our oil
wells, oil fields, marginal wells and
others? Do we follow our laws? All
these should be probed. I believe all
these and many more areas should be
looked at.”
