Why Jonathan Went to Ciroma's House
President Goodluck Jonathan went to the house of Northern Political Leaders Forum's [NPLF] leader Malam Adamu Ciroma for a meeting because former Vice President Atiku Abubakar insisted on it and refused to meet the president for a one-on-one meeting after the PDP primary elections, a source close to the Jonathan camp told Daily Trust in Abuja
When the president sought to meet with Atiku recently, the former vice president who contested for the PDP's presidential ticket with Jonathan on January 13 declined to honour the request and said he would only meet the President under the umbrella of the NPLF chaired by elder statesman Malam Adamu Ciroma.
The source said following Atiku's posture, the President agreed to meet the group at the residence of Adamu Ciroma on Friday. Atiku Abubakar as well as former military ruler General Ibrahim Babangida and former National Security Adviser General Aliyu Gusau were all present at the meeting.
