Goodluck Jonathan and John Mahama, former presidents of
Nigeria and Ghana, respectively, on Monday, led delegates from the West African
Elders Forum (WAEF) on a visit to four presidential candidates in Nigeria.
The candidates who were visited are Bola Tinubu of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New
Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Also on the delegation were Boni Yayi, former president of
Benin; Fatoumata Tambajang, former vice-president of The Gambia; and Kadre
Ouedraogo, former prime minister of Burkina Faso.
In a tweet on his official handle, Jonathan said the delegation visited the presidential candidates to sue for peace amid the protests over the collation of results of Nigeria’s general election.
