Abdulsalami discussed national issueswith Buhari

A former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar
(retd.), on Thursday said he discussed issues of
national interest and international affairs with
President Muhammadu Buhari during a short
meeting they had at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Abubakar said this in an interview with State House
correspondents at the end of the meeting which
was held inside the President’s office.
The former military ruler however refused to
disclose the specific issues he discussed with the
President when reporters asked him to do so.
“I came to discuss issues of national interest and
international affairs with the President. Both of
them are interwoven. I have discussed with the
person I came to see and I don’t think I need to
discuss it in the news media,” Abubakar said.
Reacting to a claim that he had been silent on
national issues lately, the former Head of State said
he had been busy talking to those that needed to
be talked to.
He said the National Peace Committee for the 2015
General Elections which he chairs was still working
behind the scene.
He then urged all Nigerians to support the present
administration in its efforts aimed at resolving the
crisis facing the nation
“We (the committee members) are still working,
although quietly, to make sure that there is peace
in the country.
“I hope all Nigerians will give the present
administration the necessary support to make sure
that we overcome all these crisis that are
unnecessary and uncalled for,” he added.
