Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, both ex-Predidents, joined some Peoples Democratic Party governors to visit the palace of Lamido of Adamawa in Yola on Sunday.

According to media reports, those present at the meeting said Chief Obasanjo, showered praises on Atiku Abubakar, his previously estranged vice president with whom he had reconciled since becoming the candidate of Nigeria’s main opposition party for the 2019 presidential election.

Chief Obasanjo, president between 1999 and 2007, reportedly recounted his ordeal at the Yola Prisons following his incarceration by the military junta of Sani Abacha in the 1990s.

Chief Obasanjo said Yola Prisons and the Lamido’s palace were only separated by a wall. It was a remarkable moment, said Paul Ibe, a spokesperson for Mr Abubakar who was present at the event.

Mr Ibe told PREMIUM TIMES Chief Obasanjo assured the Lamido of Adamawa that Mr Abubakar would not disappoint “when he becomes President” in 2019.
