President Goodluck Jonathan is still meeting with Religious leaders.
He had a private meeeting with two of the leading pastors, the
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch
Adeboye; and the Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide
a.k.a Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo in the country yesterday.
According to reports by Puch newspaper, the two meetings were described as “private” and hence were not opened to journalists.
After the closed-door meetings with the two clergymen, Jonathan who
was accompanied on the trip by a few aides, returned to Abuja
immediately.
It would however be recalled that Adeboye and Oyedepo were mentioned
to be part of a team that attempted to broker peace between Jonathan and
former President Olusegun Obasanjo before the 2015 general elections.
The two pastors were said to have in January led the President to
Obasanjo’s mansion on Presidential Hilltop Estate, Abeokuta, the Ogun
State capital for a reconciliatory meeting.
Media reports had it then that Adeboye and Oyedepo were at the
meeting at the instance of the former President as one of conditions
given by Obasanjo before any meeting with Jonathan could take place.
It was learnt that the men of God were called to be witnesses of what
would transpire between Jonathan and Obasanjo during the meeting after
the terms of the outcome of previous discussions between the two were
allegedly not implemented by the President.
