Jonathan storms Aso Rock again, in closed door chat with Buhari [PHOTOS]
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Nigeria’s former president has stormed Aso Rock again, the second time in less than a month to visit President Muhammadu Buhari.
Jonathan visited The State House, Abuja on Thursday to brief Buhari on the political situation in Mali.
The former president is ECOWAS’ Special Envoy to Mali to try and salvage the political situation in the West African country.
The 2021 Malian coup d’état began on the night of 24 May 2021 when the Malian Army led by Vice President Assimi Goïta captured President Bah N’daw.
In a message to congratulate Jonathan on his 64th birthday, Buhari had commended Jonathan for serving the country, and working for the peace and advancement of democracy on the African continent.
“President Buhari believes the former President’s profile should remind those in position and all aspiring leaders that serving the country and humanity requires sacrifice, and ultimately placing the interest of others above personal gains.
“As Dr. Jonathan turns 64, the President sends warm greetings to him and his family, praying that the Almighty God will continue to sustain them in good health and all-round well being.”
