Nigeria's former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday left the country for Gambia in a bid to escape a pre-planned peace meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
PUNCH wrote;
There were indications on Friday that former President Olusegun Obasanjo might have shunned a peace move by the Peoples Democratic Party and President Goodluck Jonathan.
Sunday PUNCH reliably gathered that as part of the President’s visit to Ogun State on Friday, Jonathan and the leadership of the PDP had planned to meet with the former President.
It was, however, learnt that the former president, who had got wind of the peace move, travelled to Gambia on Thursday.
It was not clear whether the ex-President had plans to attend the Gambia event before Jonathan’s visit. Investigations revealed that Obasanjo would have been part of the closed-door meeting Jonathan had with some Ogun State traditional rulers on Friday, but for his absence from the country.
