General Yakubu Gowon, Nigeria’s former head of state, on Monday, May 13, paid an unusual visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa.
At the time of filing this report, the actual reason for the visit was yet to be known, but photographs from the Presidential Villa confirmed that the duo actually met.
Gowon and Buhari both served in the Nigerian Army rising to become military Generals.

The duo also served the country as heads of state at different times of Nigeria’s history.
It is widely held that Gowon remains one of the very few Nigerian leaders and elder statesmen who hardly visit the president.
