Two former Nigeria President General Olusegun Obasanjo and General Ibrahim Babangida did not attend a meeting called by President Goodluck Jonathan to discuss the security situations in Nigeria and the 2015 general elections.
While Babangida said he is unable to attend the meeting because of the death of the Senator Awaisu Kuta, the Senator representing his district in Niger State, Obasanjo did not give any official reason for not attending.
The meeting held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, lasted for over an hour. Accordin to www.pointblanknews.com, the spate of terror attacks in the country, the kidnap of the over 200 Chibok girls and the tension building up ahead of the 2015 general election were reasons President Jonathan called for the meeting.
Only General Yakubu Gowon, General Mohammadu Buhari, Chief Earnest Shonekan, Alhaji Shehu Shagari and General Abdulsalami Abubakar were at the meeting.
The Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima was also at the meeting.
