Former president Goodluck Jonathan has revealed that the closed door meeting he had with the current president, Bola Tinubu was to brief him about the planned constitutional referendum in Mali.
Ex-president Jonathan made the details public in a chat with the press after the meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday.
Recall that Jonathan is a special envoy of the Economic Community of West African States and is leading the mediation mission in Mali.
The West African Country is to conduct a referendum on a new constitution on June 18.
Jonathan said, “I came to brief the president on the activities of some continental and subcontinental bodies. You know, I am the ECOWAS mediator for Mali and the chairman of the West African Elders Forum.
“So, there are certain issues bordering on the continent and the sub-region that I discuss with various presidents.”
