The spokesman for the Northern
Elders’ Forum, NEF, Prof. Ango Abdullahi has met with former President Olusegun
Obasanjo in his home in Abeokuta, Ogun State, as plot to sack President
Muhammadu from office heightens.
The meeting between Abdullahi,
and Obasanjo was meant to agree on a possible consensus candidate.
The meeting, which also had in
attendance two other NEF members deliberated about a suitable northern
candidate.
They talked about a candidate
that could attract massive support from all parts of the country in the 2019
elections.
It was learnt that the meetings
were parts of the moves to unite elders of the six zones in the country to
present a common front in the 2019 presidential election.
The meetings were also aimed at
seeking solutions to security challenges in the country.
A source at the meeting told
Punch that, “Ango Abdullahi actually visited Obasanjo in Abeokuta along with
two other men.
“Their discussion, as you rightly
guessed, bordered on the 2019 elections and the need to field a dynamic
candidate who would be acceptable to the North and other regions of the country
because the North is no longer comfortable with the current leadership.”
