President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja met behind closed doors with some Igbo leaders led by Mbazulike Amaechi at the Presidential Villa Abuja.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Bishop Sunday Onuoha, former Governor Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Mr Tagbo Amaechi, and Chief Goddy Uwazurike were among the Igbo dignitaries who attended the meeting.
The meeting was also attended by the President’s Chief of Staff, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, the President’s National Security Adviser, retired Maj.-Gen. Babagana Monguno, the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, and the Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige.
Participants at the meeting did not speak to the press on the outcome of their engagement with the president.
NAN, however, gathered from a reliable source that the gathering might have discussed some national issues, including security and socio-economic developments in the South-East zone of the country.
