Nigeria’s President-elect, General Muhammad Buhari, and
President Goodluck Jonathan have held their first meeting after the
Presidential election, where they are believed to have discussed
issues pertaining to the transition process.
The meeting took place on Friday inside the Presidential Villa and was handled as a strictly private affair.
It was the first time the two leaders would be meeting since the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Buhari winner
of the March 28 presidential election.
General Buhari, in a speech after he was declared winner of the
Presidential election, said he would be meeting with President Jonathan
to discuss the transition process.
“I look forward to meeting him soon, as we plan the transition from one administration to another,” he said.
President Jonathan had also called General Buhari before he was
declared winner to congratulate him on his victory, requesting that he
should plan to visit the Aso Rock (Presidential Villa) for discussion
about the transition.
