Obasanjo’s special assistant on media, Kehinde Akinyemi, stated in a statement on Wednesday, July 3, that the meeting focused on regional development issues, including security and infrastructure.
Obasanjo said: “Others were economic and cooperative/collaboration, which was meant to complement the national economic development agenda.”
“The meeting with them was at my invitation and of Chief Emeka Anyaoku before their summit begins. The issue of Nnamdi Kanu was not on the agenda and was not discussed in my presence.”
