A former Minister of Defence, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, on Wednesday met behind closed-doors with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting which lasted for about 15 minutes, was held inside the President’s residence in the early hours of the day.

Jonathan received Danjuma, who is the Chairman of the Victims Support Fund, in front of his residence and also saw him off to the same spot.

As Jonathan and his guest moved towards his waiting car, State House correspondents approached Danjuma for comment on the purpose of the early morning meeting.

Flanked by the President with some presidential aides standing behind him, the former minister described the agenda of the short meeting as confidential.

When reminded that the meeting was coming at a crucial time when the nation was preparing for general elections, Danjuma warned the reporters not to speculate about the purpose of the visit.

He said having just returned to the country from a foreign trip, he needed to see Jonathan and find out developments in the country.

“Don’t speculate. I came to visit the President and find out how things are going. I have been abroad. I just came back,” he said.

When asked whether he was ready to support Jonathan’s re-election, Danjuma said he could not canvass votes for anybody because he does not belong to any political party.

“I don’t canvass (for votes). I am not in any of the political parties. The President is Nigeria’s President,” he simply said.

After the short press interview, Jonathan saw his guest off to his car and later retired into his residence with his aides.

Danjuma in January drew the wrath of some ex-Niger Delta militants, includ­ing Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo and Government Ekpemupolo (a.k.a Tompolo), when he called for their arrests for threatening war if Jonathan loses the forthcoming election.

Apart from declaring the former minister persona non grata in the region where Jonathan hails from, the ex-militants also demanded apol­ogy from Danjuma within seven days or face their wrath.

The repentant militant leaders said in a statement issued in Port Harcourt, that Danjuma was among North­erners who had become very comfortable in life because of the oil money from Niger Delta.

In English, we call it "Taking Precautionary Measures..


The man is trying not to support anybody for future purposes..

Even those who feed fat from Jonathan can't boldly support him in public (even in his presence). The shiiit has hit the fan.

And what is it with Jonathan and "secret meetings" lately? Is he seeking asylum already?

T. Y. Danjuma, one of the soldiers I admire.
@Nobody wants to associate with Jonathan on the election except those that want bribe.

Unbelieveable! Danjuma went to bow down for GEJ. Nice move Danjuma. Join the movement for #March4GEJ

Muslim brotherhood party APC is the Nigerian version of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Party? Check out this: 1. Party Leader - North: Gen Muhammadu Buhari (Muslim). 2. Party Leader - South: Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Muslim). 3. National Chairman: Abdulkareem Bisi Akande(Muslim). 4. Deputy National Chairman: Aminu Bello Masari (Muslim) 5.

National Legal Adviser: Muiz Banie (Muslim). 12. National Deputy Auditor: Bala Jibrin (Muslim). 13. National Women Leader: Sharia Ikeazor (Muslim convert). 14. EX-officio Member: Muniru Muse (Muslim). 15. EX-officio Member: Alhaji Yemi Sanusi (Muslim). Yet, these people want us to believe they are PROGRESSIVES and that APC is a national party. I think APC has a hidden religious agenda..Be guided people!

Whoever equipped you with all the rubbish you put up here did not try at all.

Unfortunately, you're not intelligent enough to check the facts and compare with your list.

Get a life boy!

jonathan. Cannot run....we will follow him to any wia in dix world...put him insyd crate bring him bk to naija to cum. nd giv us our $20billions

Danjuma is not supporting Jonathan and cares nothing for him. A man that took Obasanjo’s government to court and won, is it the weakling Jonathan that will trouble him? Is it not the same PDP that allowed him to 'select' the governor for his state? He fully expects Buhari to be the next president and we in the apc know it.
