President Mohammadu Buhari on Saturday morning held a secret meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo in New York in a bid to calm the tension going on in the All Progressive Congress (APC) over the ordeal of Senate president, Senator Bukola Saraki. The meeting which was held behind closed door at the Millennium Plaza Hotel in New York lasted for about 45 minutes.

Sources who were part of the meeting at its early minutes before being excused said that the former president had called the protocol officers of President Buhari to schedule the talks in order to plead for a soft landing for Saraki.However, former Ekiti State governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, was sighted by our correspondent at the door of the room where the meeting took place, and all efforts to speak with him proved futile as he was busy struggling with security men who repeatedly stopped him from gaining entry.

However, the source confirmed that a former member of the House of Representatives, Honourable Abike Dabiri, has been pencilled down as the next Nigerian Permanent Representative to the United Nations as a result of the wealth of experience she garnered in foreign affairs and diplomatic issues when she was the chairperson, House Committee on Diaspora Affairs.All efforts by newsmen to speak with Obasanjo on his way to his hotel after the meeting met a brick wall as his security men prevented any interview from taking place.The former president simply said to his security men that: “E fi won s’ile”, meaning “leave them alone”.

In Nigeria it means the talk would be revealed but not the contents...

Before it was ministerial list talk. Now its Saraki talk.

Btw, Na New York Dem come dey discuss our issues?

Soft landing? This Obasanjo sef na comedian........a corruption of that magnitude hanging on Saraki's neck if left without punitive measures to curtail future occurence from corrupt-minded politicians/high-profile individuals will only tell the citizens how unserious this administration is in fighting corruption....Buhari should beware of Obasanjo!

Not again.... *yawns*

I remember obj travelled alot when he became president. understanding the role international community will play in the development of Nigeria. PMB is also threading thesame path we should just stay calm. Better days ahead.
Mean while Ministerial list shouldn't pass the time promised.
This days politicians don't always keep promise,I hope PMB will break that.

We must not allow any soft landing anywhere for a crook facing trial. Let the law runs totally and proof the accused guilty or innocent.
PMB must not let us down .

What did Nigeria achieve under Obj? Is he not the same person that bastardised our democracy and wasted our opportunities and resources? Oga shift abeg

They held secret talk but Leadership newspaper, owned by Sam Nda Isaiah, a pro-buhari man is telling us the secret.

OBJ should stay out if this because Saraki the traitor needs to be thought a lesson never to dine and wine with the enemies to gain power . All traitors are liable to be nailed or end up in jail. Shikena! !!

Telecommunication, Debt relief to mention a few. Debt alone would have make things worst not to talk of employment opportunities provided by the telecoms operator.
