Deji Elumoye in Abuja
President Bola Tinubu is meeting with former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, at the State House, Abuja.
Abubakar’s visit is coming two days after the visit of former President Goodluck Jonathan, who was at the State House to brief President Tinubu on developments in Mali.
Abubakar played a stabilizing role in the run up to the 2023 general election, from which President Tinubu emerged victorious.
It was to the credit of the National Peace Committee, chaired by Abubakar, that all major candidates in the February 25, 2023 presidential poll signed a peace accord, which was believed to have largely doused tension during and after the polls.
