Generals Babangida, Abdulsalami and Gusau had gathered at the uphill residence of Babangida and were later joined by Former President Obasanjo.
Although details of the meeting were not known but it was speculated to be around the general situation in the country.
Also, the building tension ahead of the Edo governorship and the refusal of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), to sign a Peace Accord were parts of the issues discussed at meeting.
According to our source, the meeting lasted about two hours after which former President Obasanjo returned to Abuja.
Another source close to the Bola Tinubu Airport in Minna, disclosed that former President Obasanjo arrived the airport at about 4.30pm in a Golf Steam 5 aircraft believed to have been chattered and departed in the same aircraft at exactly 6.30pm.
