President Bola Tinubu is now holding closed-door meetings with former Head of State General Yakubu Gowon (retd.) at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Gowon arrived at the President’s office forecourt shortly after 2 p.m., and Tinubu personally greeted him.
Wednesday’s meeting is the first private one between the former Head of State and the President since the latter took office nine months ago.
It is unclear what the two men will talk at the encounter.
Gowon, Nigeria’s Head of State from August 1966 to July 1975, presently serves on the Council of State.
