In Minna, Niger state, former military leaders Generals Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar received private visits from former president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
The two leaders were separately met by the former president in the afternoon at their hilltop residences.
After the meeting, Goodluck Jonathan responded to questions from journalists by saying that the visit to the former Elder Statesmen was routine.
Being the youngest of all the former leaders, the visit was just another routine one.
I had the chance to see General Abdusalami Abubakar, who had recently returned from receiving treatment abroad and had also made time to see General Babangida,” he said.
