Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday met with his estranged deputy, Atiku Abubakar, at the Minna International Airport, where the two leaders hugged each other.
It was gathered that Obasanjo was in the Niger State capital to visit former military President Ibrahim Babangida, who just returned from a two-month medical treatment in Germany while Atiku was in the town to attend the Presidential declaration of Sam Nda-Isaiah of All Progressives Congress.
The former President, who arrived in a plane with number plate G DOUR along with Senator Andy Uba, Chief Ayo Fasawe and an unidentified lady at about 5.30pm, was set for his trip to Babangida’s residence from the airport.
Atiku, who was already seated, awaiting clearance for his flight, stopped the pilot, alighted and headed straight for the waiting car that was to take Obasanjo out of the airport, where the two leaders hugged each other.
A black BMW car with number plate ABJ 01 RJ, then took Obasanjo to the uphill residence of the Babangidas in company with Mohammed Babangida.
At the IBB residence, journalists were barred from entering the building but a source told our correspondent that Obasanjo only came to visit IBB.
The two leaders met only for about 30 minutes before Obasanjo left for the airport
