President
Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday held a closed-door meeting with a former Abia
State Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, Plateau Governor, Solomon Lalong, and
Communication Minister, Adebayo Shittu at his Daura country home.
The meeting
was held shortly after Kalu was conferred with a chieftaincy title of
“Danbaiwan Hausa ” by the Emir of Daura, Dr. Farouq Umar Farouq.
Both Plateau
Governor and the Communication minister were among the dignitaries who
accompanied Kalu to the Emir’s palace for the conferment of the title.
The trio,
shortly after the event, left for President Buhari’s residence.
Shittu,
speaking to journalists after the meeting, said he was at the President’s
residence to “pay obeisance”.
The minister
said: “We were here to pay obeisance. You know the President recently returned
from a medical trip abroad.
“The
President is not only fit to trek 800 metres as reported by the media, the
President is fit mentally and physically to continue to pilot the affairs of
our great country.”
Shittu said
he attended Kalu’s event to reciprocate his kindness and liberal attitude to
all Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion.
