President Muhammadu Buhari and national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinibu, on Sunday, met behind closed doors at the presidential villa, Abuja.
Asked why he came to see the president, the former Lagos State governor said he came to thank him for visiting him in London after his surgery.
According to him, the president’s gesture was a mark of exceptional leadership.
Tinubu said: “Only to thank the president, first of all, for his visit to my residence in London after the surgery and wishing me well, lifting my spirit and indeed what an exceptional leader will do to collaborate. So that’s what I came for and to welcome him back from the trip from Saudi.
“No politics, just courtesy call to thank him in a big way, that’s all.”
Asked what the president told him, the APC chieftain said Buhari was happy to see him.
He declined to say more.
