The two meetings were held behind closed door as there was no press attention, but Leadership reported authoritatively that General Gowon came about midday and left about an hour later.
It was learnt Gowon came to greet IBB
over his medical treatment out of the country but held a closed door meeting
with him before leaving.
Hardly an hour later General Buhari
with former Osun State governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola and former governor of
Bayelsa State Timipre Sylva visited General Babangida.

It was gathered that they reached the
house of IBB at about 2:20pm and lunched with him before retiring to a closed
door meeting and left in about an hour.
A source hinted that however Buhari
and the two ex-governors came to recognize with IBB over his latest health
challenges, they discussed for about 30 minutes behind closed door on the
political growths in Nigeria.
Within rumours that Babangida is one
of the top supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential bid for
2015, the guests it was learnt might have taken the opportunity to hint him
about the imperative of Buhari’s presidency.
While details of the closed door
meeting with his senior ex-leaders were unknown it was learnt that, IBB was
pleased to receive them.
Ibrahim Babangida returned to Nigeria
on November 1, 2014, Saturday, after almost two-months-long medical treatment
in Germany.
He was flown to Germany on September
6, 2014, accompanied by his son Aminu. Firstly a routine medical check-up has
been planned for the ex-Nigerian leader. Meanwhile, IBB had to undergo a bone
related-surgery, which required long recovery period and extended his duration
of stay meaningfully.
President Goodluck Jonathan had
supposedly visited Babangida a visit at the hospital, while on his way to New
York, for the annual UN Assembly on September 21, 2014.
Scheming maybe, God is watching
