Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has met President Muhammadu Buhari at Aso Villa, Abuja behind closed doors.

The meeting is the first for the duo since President Buhari’s inauguration on May 29 for a second term in office.

The meeting began at 3 pm on Thursday.

Mr Jonathan was at the Presidential Villa about twice on private visits during Buhari’s first term.

Jonathan had last Wednesday at the constitutional term limits summit in Niamey, Niger Republic, advocated for single tenure to enable a leader in planning his agenda for the country.

He said: “Four years is quite a short period for a country that is developing for a person who wants to change the country to do much. In Nigeria, we just finished the election and some people are already talking about 2023 election. It is distracting.”

The former president, who did not contest his defeat at the 2015 presidential polls, said he still would have done same now after witnessing the first term of Buhari’s administration.
