…….Ex-President thanks Buhari for naming rail station after him
President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan at the State House, Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the agenda of the meeting is unknown to journalists as at the time of filing this report.
NAN, however, gathered that Mr Jonathan would update the president on his recent international assignment in Mali.
Mr Jonathan headed the mediation team of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Mali’s lingering political crisis.
NAN also reports that Mr Jonathan may use the opportunity to condole with the president over the death of his friend, Ismaila Isa Funtua, who died of cardiac arrest on Monday night.
The former President also told State House Correspondents that he thanked the Buhari on naming a rail station after him.
Recall that President Buhari approved the naming of the railway complex in Agbor, Delta State, after Nigeria’s former President, Goodluck Jonathan.
Tolu Ogunlesi, Special Assistant to President Buhari on Digital and New Media, disclosed this on Twitter on Saturday.
“BREAKING: President @MBuhari has approved the naming of the Railway Complex in Agbor – the operational hub of #ItakpeWarriRail Line – after former President @GEJonathan. It will be known as the Goodluck Jonathan Railway Station & Complex — Minister of Transport, @ChibuikeAmaechi”, he tweeted.
