Read What Buhari Told Jonathan During Their Secret Meeting

Facts have now emerged on the reason behind the secret meeting held at Aso Rock Villa between former president Goodluck Jonathan and his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari.

It was learnt that the meeting was facilitated by former head of state Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, The Nation reports.
Abubakar headed the 2015 elections peace committee that paved way for peace before, during and after the 2015 general elections.
The meeting was coming on the heels of complaints by Jonathan that Buhari is not sticking to the peace accord they signed prior to March 28, 2015 presidential election.
Jonathan had hoped to stop the probe of his administration over alleged misappropriation of fund under his watch.
However, the president had insisted that all looted funds must be returned. A source who does not want to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue said the president told Jonathan that he had nothing to fear at all.
It was gathered that the outcome of the session between Buhari and Jonathan could have informed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s statement at the weekend. The VP said the anti-corruption fight of the present administration is not focused on Jonathan.
It is believed in some quarters that Jonathan was not happy that Buhari had moved against his ex-national security adviser, ex-chief security officer and some ministers.
The source said Jonathan prevailed on Abubakar’s committee to beg Buhari not to‘rubbish’ his administration.
He said: “For some weeks, Jonathan has been in the country to iron out some issues on his government. Based on Jonathan’s complaint, Abdulsalami made efforts – five times- to get in touch with Buhari but the ex-Head of State could not get through on time. I think Buhari already had security reports on Jonathan’s emissary.”
At some point, the former head of state met brick wall in securing audience with president Buhari but some past presidents had to prevail on Buhari to give the committee a chance to mediate.
The source added: “This was how Abdulsalami succeeded in securing an appointment from Buhari for Jonathan with a caveat that the immediate past President should feel free to bare his mind.
“Jonathan said he was hearing some of the allegations, especially financial sleaze, against his administration for the first time. He made it clear that he had nothing to do with some of these corrupt practices.
“He said whatever steps or actions the President intends to take; it should be within the framework of the peace accord the two leaders signed. Obviously, he wanted soft landing. He also pledged to cooperate with Buhari as much as possible on all steps he is going to take.”
Buhari had stated during the meeting that Jonathan had nothing to fear but insisted that there was no going back on the recovery of looted funds.
“The President reassured Jonathan that he has no personal agenda against him. But he insisted that whatever was stolen from the treasury must be returned,” the source said

According to the PDP there is a certain cabal running the country and that the President is just a puppet in their hands. The cabal according to the PDP have warned Buhari not to reveal to Nigerians that he is sick and finally allowed him to travel so they can rule Nigeria for 10 days.

The cabal are the ones running the country. They have turned the president into a prisoner.

The cabal have convinced the president not to come clean and tell Nigerians that he is sick. They are managing the president secretly. — PDP Nigeria (@PdpNigeria) June 4, 2016

The cabal will now get to run the country for 10days without interruption or dialogue with their prisoner “president Buhari”.

There is a cabal around the president who are trying to plunge Nigeria into serious crisis. Mamman Daura is the head of that cabal. — PDP Nigeria (@PdpNigeria) June 4, 2016

Jonathan, Buhari Hold Secret Meeting In Aso Rock

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has met with his predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The duo met on Friday at the president’s official residence.
The meeting came on the heels of heightened media speculations that the Buhari-led federal government was planning on arresting Mr. Jonathan over alleged massive corruption during his tenure.
It also came at a time a group known as Assembly of Concerned Niger Delta People urged Buhari to appoint Jonathan as his special envoy to the Niger Delta, to stem the rising tide of militancy and destruction of oil and gas installations in the oil-rich region.
However, details of the meeting were unknown as it was held away from the prying eyes of journalists.
There was also no official statement concerning the meeting by the two leaders.

Fani-kayode Has Met Bail Conditions – Aide

Jude Ndukwe, the Special Assistant on Media to Femi Fani-Kayode, the detained Director of Media and Publicity of the 2015 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Campaign Organisation claimed that his principal has met his bail conditions as set by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC but the anti-graft agency has refused to release him. He alleged that the aim of the agency is to forcefully extract statements from the the former minister of Aviation, that would implicate former President Goodluck Jonathan and PDP chieftains.
“It is even more worrisome that the activities of the anti-graft agency has reached an all-time low as they are insisting that the former Minister of Culture and Tourism should name publishers, editors, journalists and bloggers he allegedly gave money to during the election campaigns.

“What has journalists who covered the PDP campaign as much as that of APC got to do with this? This is the height of it all!” Ndukwe said.
“The further insistence by EFCC that Chief Fani-Kayode should deposit a sum of $1m before he could be let go shows how desperate the agency is to keep him in their custody and deny him his fundamental rights as guaranteed under Sections 33,34,35,37 and 41 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended)  and Articles 4, 5, 6 and 12 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act Cap 10 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990.
“This further confirms our position that even though he has met his bail conditions, the EFCC have no intention of letting him enjoy his bail nor do they have any intention of playing by the rules.
“While we have copiously acknowledged in the past and still do that EFCC have a constitutional and mandatory duty to carry out their statutory function as empowered by our laws, it is also our sincerest belief that these functions can be carried out within the ambit of the law and without being tainted with vendetta, vindictiveness and politics. These are what discredit the agency and cast doubts in the minds of Nigerians about the sincerity of the fight against corruption,” Ndukwe said.

Nobody Has The Right To Deny Herdsmen Access To Any Part Of The Country – Ango Abdullahi

The spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Professor Ango Abdullahi, Wednesday declared that nobody has the right to stop Fulani herdsmen from going about their lawful business in any part of the country.
The former Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, was speaking against the backdrop of the Ekiti Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose’s ban on cattle grazing in the state over a week ago.
According to Prof. Abdullahi, not only is the freedom of movement of the cattle rearers guaranteed under the Nigerian constitution, they are like businessmen, who like other people, cannot be denied access to the resources they need.
The NEF chieftain spoke in Bauchi yesterday.
He said, “If for any reason, somebody in one section of this country will deny him access then we have to take measures to response to that. We are not saying that if a herdsman encroaches on a farm land . . . and this has been the tradition here for years; when they do some crops get damaged and an assessment is made and they pay. So why all the petty attitude?
“I see what is happening today as a new dimension to political and ethnic cleansing that if not carefully handled may lead to other big things. The Herdsman is a Nigerian his rights must be exercised as a Nigerian he has free movement like everybody else to pursue legitimate business and he cannot be denied access to any part of the country.
“I am a Fulani man my ancestors were in the bush, but we find reasons to settle in one place. I have cows and anytime they cause damage I pay compensation and so that is the way it will be.
“The Fulani man is a Nigerian he has rights like any other Nigerian he works freely to access legitimate economic resources of this country like land. Land is common thing for all Nigerians. In fact, what really amazes me there is no Nigerian I know that works as hard as a herdsman; he sleeps on the branches of trees he has no permanent abode, he toils day and night with his animals”.
