President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with the former Military Head of State General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) behind closed doors in Abuja.
Though there was no clue as to the agenda of his visit, General Abubakar is the second Nigerian former leader visiting the president after the previous visit of Dr Goodluck Jonathan
Recall that Abubakar played a stabilising role in the run up to the 2023 general elections where President Tinubu emerged victorious.
It was to the credit of the National Peace Committee, chaired by Abubakar that all major candidates in the February 29 Presidential election signed a peace accord, which was believed to have largely doused tension during and in the aftermath of the polls.
Abubakar, 81, is a Nigerian statesman and retired Nigerian army general who served as the military head of state of Nigeria from 1998 to 1999.
He was also Chief of Defence Staff from 1997 to 1998. He succeeded General Sani Abacha upon his death.
