President Bola Tinubu hosted former President Goodluck Jonathan at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, sparking curiosity across Nigeria.
The presidency has kept the meeting’s agenda under wraps, fueling speculation.
This marks their second rendezvous in six months, the last was in November 2025, shortly after Jonathan’s dramatic return from Guinea-Bissau.
Jonathan had led the West African Elders Forum’s election observation mission there, monitoring presidential and legislative polls. Chaos erupted when soldiers staged a coup, seizing power, halting elections, and vowing to rule “until further notice.”
Amid rising tensions and safety fears for Jonathan’s team, he was swiftly evacuated back home.
General Horta Inta-A was sworn in as transitional president, while ousted leader Umaro Embaló fled after his release by the military.
Photos from today’s closed-door huddle hint at ongoing high-level talks. Stay tuned for updates!
