Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is currently playing host to some northern leaders, led by a prominent Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, at the Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.
Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, disclosed this to journalists today.
He, however, said Obasanjo and the northern leaders are in a closed-door meeting and he had no hint of the subject of discussion.
Akinyemi said, “It’s not that the meeting was held, it is still going on and it’s not just between the two of them, it’s a stakeholders meeting holding at his residence here in Abeokuta.”
The meeting may not be unconnected with the state of insecurity in the country.
This is because Gumi has been in the news recently over his efforts to convince the Federal Government to grant “blanket amnesty” to bandits terrorising the North, particularly the Northwest part of the country.
The prominent religious leader said the move is part of his efforts to solve the security challenge bedevilling the country.
