The president had left Nigeria for the summit on Friday, February 7, alongside state governors like Hope Uzodinma of Imo and Ben Ayade of Cross River. Others in the president's entourage are some senators and top officials in the ministry of foreign affairs including Geoffrey Onyeama. Also included in the list are National Security Adviser (NSA) Major-General Babagana Monguno (Rtd), and Director-General of National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ambassador Ahmed Rufai Abubakar. Legit.ng notes that ex-President Obasanjo has been a staunch critic of the Buhari administration since his first term in power. In the build up to the 2019 elections, the former president advised President Buhari not to seek re-election and went ahead to endorse Atiku Abubakar who contested on the platform of the lead opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Obasanjo, as a result of his critical open letters, has had several clashes with the presidency in the last few years. The two leaders, however, put their political differences aside as they were seen all smiles as they greeted each other at the summit. President Buhari's aide on social media, Bashir Ahmad, shared a picture of the president and his predecessor as they exchanged hand shakes at the summit.
