Those in attendance were former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, and former National Security Adviser, Gen. Aliyu Gusau.
Sources revealed that Babangida and his fellow generals had been waiting for Obasanjo’s arrival at IBB’s mansion before the session commenced.
Although specific details of the discussions were not officially disclosed, reports suggest that the talks centred around the rising security challenges across the country.
Another key issue speculated to be on the agenda was the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) refusal to sign a peace accord ahead of the hotly contested Edo governorship election, slated for Sept. 21.
The meeting, which reportedly lasted two hours, concluded with former President Obasanjo returning to Abuja.
He arrived at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Airport at approximately 4:30 PM aboard a Gulfstream 5 aircraft, which was believed to have been chartered for the occasion.
After the closed-door discussions, Obasanjo departed Minna at around 6:30 PM in the same aircraft, accompanied by protocol officers from the Niger State Government.
The Niger state government provided transportation for the former president, escorting him both to and from the IBB residence.
Obasanjo’s departure from Minna was noted at around 7 PM as he headed back to Abuja.
