The Digest:

Former President Goodluck Jonathan met with President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday at the State House in Abuja. The agenda of the meeting has not been made public by the presidency. Jonathan's last meeting with Tinubu was in November 2025 after his return from Guinea-Bissau, where he had been leading an election observation mission before soldiers seized power. Jonathan was later evacuated from the country. General Horta Inta-A was sworn in as the transitional president of Guinea-Bissau.

Key Points:
  • The purpose of Wednesday's meeting remains undisclosed.
  • Jonathan previously led the West African Elders Forum mission to Guinea-Bissau.
  • Soldiers seized power in Guinea-Bissau while Jonathan's delegation was there.
  • The former president was evacuated back to Nigeria safely.
  • This is Jonathan's first known meeting with Tinubu since the Guinea-Bissau incident.
The closed-door meeting has sparked speculation about its purpose.
