Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday met with various leaders including the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Sultan of Sokoto, his eminence Sa’ad Abubakar, and former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, as part of efforts to address the myriad of challenges bedevilling the country.
The closed-door meeting which lasted for over nine hours took place at the Kano Conference Hall of the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.
According to Obasanjo in a letter of invitation earlier extended to the Nigerian Labour Congress, the meeting which was in collaboration with the Interfaith Initiative for Peace, National Peace Committee and Socio-Cultural Consultative Committee all under Committee for Goodness of Nigeria, was an exploratory one bordering on pressing issues of national unity, security, peace, integration, economic revitalisation and development, women and youth welfare and general progress of the country.

Presidency Blocks El Rufai and NLC’s Reunion On Twitter
Presidency Blocks El Rufai and NLC’s Reunion On Twitter
After the announcement by the Ekiti state government, that it was cutting down on salaries of workers in the state, even of political appointees too, not much reaction was expected immediately except for the usual backlash on social media by concerned citizens.
So, it was surprising for El Rufai, the governor of Kaduna state to call out the Nigerian Labour Congress on twitter. In his double edged tweet, he asked if the NLC was on twitter while retweeting the announcement made by the government of Ekiti on the same twitter platform. He said this probably because there had not yet been an official statement by the congress in response to Ekiti state’s salary cut.
