When he emerged from the meeting, he spoke to journalists briefly and explained why he was there, stating that it was to make up for not being available when the library initially opened last year.
“You know, I missed the official opening of the library and that is why I have decided to come and see the place and, honestly, it is beautiful.
“We are very proud of what he has done here.” he said of the visit.
Many speculate that this cannot be the only reason for the meeting and that the discussion must have also involved the happenings in the National Assembly especially with the defection of Saraki from APC to PDP.
He never answered this though as he drove off when questioned about this possibility.
