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.
