The nation’s service chiefs also on Wednesday visited President Goodluck Jonathan, a day after he lost his re-election bid.
They were led to the closed-door session with the President by the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.).
Service chiefs who met with Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja included the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh; Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Kenneth Minimah; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Usman Jibrin; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu.
None of them spoke with journalists at the end of the parley that lasted about an hour.
After the meeting, they also consulted briefly with Dasuki at the forecourt of the President’s office before they left.
Details of discussion at the meeting were not available as of the time of filing this report.
The last time the security chiefs met with Jonathan was on March 17 when they briefed him of their preparation for the general election and the success recorded in the anti-terrorism war in the North Eastern part of the country.
