Speaking in an interview with State House correspondents at the end
of a closed-door meeting, former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami
Abubakar, on Thursday, said he discussed issues of national interest and
international affairs with President Muhammadu Buhari during a short
chat they had at the Presidential Villa, Abuja which was held inside the
President’s office.
“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,” Abubakar said.
While reacting to a claim that he had been silent on national
issues lately, the former Head of State said he had been busy talking to
those that needed to be talked to, adding that the National Peace
Committee for the 2015 General Elections which he chairs was still
working behind the scene.
The former military ruler urged all Nigerians to support the
present administration in its efforts aimed at resolving the crisis
facing the nation. “We (the committee members) are still working, although quietly, to make sure that there is peace in the country," he said.
“I hope all Nigerians will give the present administration the
necessary support to make sure that we overcome all these crisis that
are unnecessary and uncalled for,” he added.
