Firstclass newsline gathered that the meeting, which lasted about
35minutes, started at about 3.15pm with the arrival of Buhari and
members of his entourage.
A few minutes before his arrival, Jonathan trekked the about 100metres
distance from his office to the new Banquet Hall of the Presidential
Villa where the meeting was held.
The president was accompanied by his Principal Secretary, Ambassador
Hassan Tukur, and a few security aides.
Buhari, decked in a white agbada, was accompanied by the National
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun;
another chieftain of the party, Abdulrahman Dambazau, and a couple of
aides.
He was driven to the front of the venue in a black Toyota Land cruiser
marked Abuja ABC 329 KJ.
He was received by Tukur who ushered him into one of the small halls
inside the building where Jonathan was already waiting.
About 30minutes later, they emerged from the meeting, holding hands
and beaming with smiles.
They waited for a few minutes in front of the national flag placed in
the centre of the building's lobby to allow photo journalists take
shots.
As they made their way out of the venue, Jonathan told State House
correspondents that the meeting was in continuation of the
conversation that the two of them had been engaging in.
When probed further, the President said although he would not disclose
the details of the meeting, the parley was in the interest of the
country.
He said a date would be chosen when the President-elect would come and
he (Jonathan) would show him round the Presidential Villa.
The President's encounter with journalists was characterised by
intermittent loud laughter by Buhari and members of his delegation as
well as the journalists.
The following conversation ensued:
President: Thank you gentlemen. We have nothing to tell you today,
formally we will take a date when the President-elect will come and I
will show him round the State House.
But today is not for that. Today, we are continuing with our
conversation, so we don't need to worry the President-elect; you don't
need to also worry the President (referring to himself).
Journalists:How did the conversation go?
President:But you see that we are smiling.
Journalists:So, the meeting was a fruitful one?
President:Yes.
Journalists:What did you discuss?
President:I will not tell you, but (the meeting was) in the interest
of the country.
When State House correspondents turned to Buhari for his comment, he
simply said, "The President (Jonathan) has said it all."
His response also elicited another round of laughter from those present.
That was the second time that Jonathan and Buhari would be meeting
publicly since the March 28 presidential election which the incumbent
lost to Buhari
