In a post on his X account, Sowore wrote, “Failure meeting Failure: Today in Abuja at the Presidential Villa, a former failed President @MBuhari had a meeting with the current failed President @officialABAT.”
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo was conspicuously absent from the Council of State meeting held at the Presidential Villa, which was chaired by President Bola Tinubu.
Former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan, Yakubu Gowon, and Abdulsalami Abubakar joined the meeting virtually, alongside other attendees.
