23 Dec Jonathan briefs Buhari on political development in Gambia
Former President Goodluck Jonathan, on Tuesday, briefed President Muhammadu Buhari on the political situation in the Republic of The Gambia.
President Adama Barrow is seeking re-election amidst political tension and uncertainties.
Barrow hads asked for Nigeria’s support during his visit to President Buhari at State House, Abuja on December 3.
“Things would have been very difficult for us without the invaluable support you gave,” Barrow told reporters.
In a brief interview with State House correspondents at the end of the closed door meeting, Jonathan said he briefed President Buhari about the outcome of his mission to Banjul, the Gambian capital.
Jonathan, who is the ECOWAS Envoy to Mali, said his mission was meant to find amicable solutions to the political problem in The Gambia.
He said that he had successfully completed the first part of the assignment while the final part of the political misunderstanding would be addressed in January, 2021.
Some opposition groups had protested, asking the Gambian president to honour his promise of single term tenure.
