Despite the uproar generated by the open letter by President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan, Vanguard learnt that the two leaders met privately for a closed door meeting on Thursday in Nairobi.
Talks between the current and former presidents were held at the luxurious Intercontinental Hotel in Nairobi where Jonathan is lodged to attend Kenya’s 50th independence celebrations.
Jonathan and Obasanjo had on Tuesday attended the memorial held to honor the life of Nelson “Madiba” Madela, South Africa’s great man of history and world’s single most significant statesman of the last 100 years.
Jonathan and Obasanjo were said to have had a “fruitful discussion” after emerging from the meeting beaming with smiles and sharing a warm handshake in a move to paper over cracks in their continually strained relationship and sway watchers that there was no acrimony between the two, the source said.
The Nairobi talks follows Obasanjo’s sanctimonious attack on Jonathan in an 18 page December 2 note to the President titled “Before It Is Too Late”.
