The gathering, earlier scheduled for May 27, 2021, was postponed following concerns by the Presidency that some individuals were planning to stage a national conference, where a vote of no confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari would be passed.The rescheduled meeting, yesterday, also had in attendance one-time National Security Adviser , Lt.-Gen. Aliyu Mohammed Gusau , ex-Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun State, as well as former Attorney General of the Federation , Kanu Agabi .
A source at the meeting confided in The Guardian that there were three major areas of concern raised by the attendees, including the need for a proactive leadership, activities of purveyors of secession and need for inclusive dialogue to address the nation’s challenges.“The meeting was meant to be a private session involving patriots and statesmen to look into the various problems dogging our national unity.
The organisers did not give official reasons why the reporters were locked out, but sources added that it might not be unconnected to an alarm raised by the Yoruba Appraisal Forum wherein it accused some disgruntled elements of plotting to “scuttle democratic rule in the country.”In a petition to the President and other notable personalities, the group had claimed that the plot was motivated by “sheer malice” against the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
