President Goodluck Jonathan is currently meeting
with Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), behind closed doors.
The
meeting, which started at exactly 9:10 am, is holding at the Sheraton hotels,
Abuja.
TheCable reports:
The
meeting is coming just two days before the presidential and national
assembly elections slated for March 28.
Believed
to be connected with the election, it was said to have been brokered by the
national peace committee chaired by Abdulsalami Abubakar, who was also seen in
attendance.
Other
personalities in attendance are John Onayeikan, the Roman Catholic cardinal
archbishop of Abuja; Sa’ad Abubakar, the sultan of Sokoto; Mathew Kukah, bishop
of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto; and John Oyegun, national chairman of
APC.
The
outcome of the meeting between the two presidential candidates was the renewal of their commitment to peaceful
elections.
Both
men also pledged to accept the outcome of a free, fair and credible election.
The national peace
committee, which brokered the meeting, was established after the signing of the
Abuja Accord in January 14., with the main objective of ensuring compliance
with the accord.
