Details Of The 5-hour Secret Meeting Between Buhari, Jonathan Released by naijadefender: 6:57pm On Jun 05, 2016
Top Sources in the Presidential Villa, who were privy to the secret meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, have on Saturday, June 4, revealed the outcome of the 5 hours closed door parley.

The Sources said, that the troubled oil rich Niger Delta orchestrated by the renewed violence of the Niger Delta Avengers, was top on the agenda.

During the meeting which was brokered by former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, saw Buhari reassuring Jonathan of his highest regards, and made it clear to him that there was no plan to arrest him or his wife Patience, over the ongoing corruption clampdown.

It was learnt that the military were withdrawn tactically from the troubled Niger Delta zone few hours after the close door meeting between Buhari and Jonathan.

Political analysts have alleged that the meeting between the duo on Friday, at the Presidential Villa, is connected to the eventual withdrawal of the army troops.

According to a reliable source, Buhari asked Jonathan to speak to elders in the region to calm the Niger Delta Avengers.

Jonathan, had reportedly demanded that the Nigeria military should withdraw first.

The development is coming at a time the destruction of oil facilities in the Niger Delta by the militants, has crippled crude oil production and power supply.

Last Friday, power generation was said to have dropped to 2,832.5MW, because of the rising attacks.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, confirmed this on Saturday, that the meeting between Buhari and Jonathan, prompted the Federal Government to do within its ability to restore peace to the Niger Delta.

Adesina, listed some of the steps being taken to include consultations and the revisiting of the document signed by the late President, Umar Yar’Adua.

“Every effort is being made to restore calmness to the Niger Delta, including consultation, and taking a fresh look at the gazette signed by the Umaru Yar’Adua government, so that the agreements contained therein will be implemented,” the presidential spokesman said.

The Senior Special Assistant to President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, had at a press conference on Friday, confirmed that some of the officials of the Federal Government were already holding discussions on how to end the violence.

Enang, maintained that some ministers, along with top government officials from the Niger Delta, had opened talks with the governors and aggrieved people from the region, on how to resolve the conflict.

He said the government was prepared to peacefully resolve the conflict.

He listed the Federal Government’s representatives currently engaging in dialogue with the stakeholders in Niger Delta to include; the Minister of Interior, Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (retd.), Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Usani Uguru; Co-ordinator, Amnesty Office, Gen. Paul Boroh (retd.) and other ministers from the region.
