Buhari meets Igbo leaders in Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has met a delegation of respected leaders of the south-eastern part of the country.

He received the delegation comprising traditional and religious leaders of the Igbo extraction at the state house in Abuja.

Among the leaders hosted by the president were former Anambra state governor, Chukwuemeka Ezeife; former minister of aviation, Mbazulike Amaechi; and former president of Igbo think-tank group, AKA Ikenga, Goddy Uwazurike.

Government officials at the meeting included the president’s chief of staff, professor Ibrahim Gambari; minister of science, technology, and innovation, Ogbonnaya Onu; and the national security adviser, Babagana Monguno.

The agenda of the meeting was not made public as the delegation did not speak to the press after the parley.

Reports say it may not be unconnected with the security situation in the southeast and the arrest, detention, and prosecution of the leader of the indigenous people of BIAFRA, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
