President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday visited former military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida in his Minna country home.
The visit which lasted for less than an hour was guarded in top secret and may have afforded President Jonathan the opportunity to see the former military leader after his return from a 2-month medical treatment in Germany.
Though Journalists were barred from gaining entrance into IBB residence, it was gathered that the two leaders took time to discuss state of the nation and the forth coming general elections.
It was also gathered that the President used his visit to the recuperating leader to solicit for IBB's support for his second term ambition in the next year general elections.
Jonathan who arrived late hours in the morning in a chopper landed at El-Amin International School, owned by the late Mrs. Maryam Babangida and drove straight to the Uphill residence of Babangida where the two leaders went into a closed meeting.
All the roads leading to the Uphill residence of the former military leader were sealed off for human and vehicular movement.
Detachment of armed military men, Police and Department of State Security officials were stationed at strategic positions in the town as early as 7am.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo had paid similar visit to the recuperating IBB shortly after he returned to the country.
