PREMIUM TIMES reports that a former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, briefly met with the governors before leaving at exactly 2:04 p.m.
The meeting by the South-east governors and leaders commenced shortly after Mr Obasanjo’s departure from the venue.
The reason for Mr Obasanjo’s brief meeting with the governors was not clear as of the time of filing this report.
Like Mr Obasanjo’s visit, no reason was given for the ongoing meeting by the South-east governors and leaders.
