Speaking with journalists shortly after the meeting, Obasanjo said he came to deliver messages he brought from abroad.
The former president who recently travelled to Liberia and Gambia said: ''I am visiting this time because I have some messages for the president. I have messages that these two countries will want me to deliver to the president.
"Also, only yesterday I came back from Seychelles Island where I attended this year’s Annual General meeting of Africa Export Development Bank. And there are aspects of the proceedings that I think I should update the President on," he said.
