President Jonathan's Hunger for endorsements suffered a blow as Former
Chief of Army staff and Minister for Defence, General Theophilus Danjuma
tuesday met with him behind closed doors at the official residence of
the President in the presidential Villa.
General Danjuma who said he had been abroad told state House correspondents that he came to discuss with the president on the situation in the country.
Asked what he discussed with the President, General Danjuma said their discussion was confidential and urged journalists not to ‘speculate’ on the meeting.
“Don’t speculate. I came to visit the president and find out how things are going. I have been abroad. I just came back” he said.
Asked if he was going to canvass support for the president for the elections, the former Army chief said “I don’t canvass. I am not in any of the political parties. The president is the president of the country”.
There have been rumours that the former Army chief had thrown his weight behind the candidature of General Mohammadu Buhari for the 2015 election.
