Former Nigeria Head of State, retired General Abdulsalami Abubakar, who had a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja, said that he has decided to stop talking to press.
General Abdulsalami, who was accosted by inquisitive news men over what he discussed with the President said: “I came to discuss issues of national interest and international affairs with the President. Both of them are interwoven. I have discussed with the person I came to see and I don’t think I need to discuss it in the news media,”
The former Head of State insisted that he had no reason to disclose what he discussed with President Buharit to the media since he had already met with the person he wanted to see.
Reacting to a claim that he had been silent on national issues lately, Abubakar said he had been busy talking to those that needed to be talked to.
He said that the National Peace Committee for the 2015 general elections which he chairs was still working behind the scene to make sure that there is peace in the country. [myad]
