Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, said that Nigerians would start witnessing positive actions and changes amid tensions in various parts of the country.
The former president said this after his closed-door meeting with former Nigerian leaders and elder statesmen in Abuja.
Obasanjo, who addressed journalists at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, noted that a communiqué was not issued at the end of the meeting because the statesmen would be long on action and short on statement.
He said that the outcome of the meeting would soon be communicated to President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The outcome of our meeting and our request will be made available to the president whenever he is ready to receive us.”
Obasanjo had, on Thursday, convened a meeting with former Head of State AbdulSalami Abubakar, traditional leaders and other influential leaders in the country.
The leaders had deliberated on issues bordering on Nigeria’s economy, threats to the country’s unity, high rate of unemployment, corruption and development issues.
Obasanjo had stated that those who could not be physically present at the meeting such as former Nobel Laureate Prof Wole Soyinka and former president Goodluck Jonathan had already sent their apologies.
