The meeting came days after Mr Bakare said he had launched a new movement to find solutions to Nigeria’s crisis, saying he had come to realise that Mr Buhari was not the leader Nigerians anticipated.
Weeks earlier, Mr Bakare, known for his fiery sermons, said he was in a new war with Mr Buhari for his failure to bring peace and economic succour to Nigerians.
“I’m not interested in meeting you any longer; no more visits. Now, it is war because Nigeria must be set free,” Mr Bakare said in his sermon in July 25, recounting how he was instrumental to Mr Buhari’s emergence as president in 2015.
Previously, Mr Bakare, who was Mr Buhari’s running mate in the 2011 presidential election that they lost to Goodluck Jonathan,had said God told him Mr Buhari will come to stabilise the country.
He later issued a statement to dismiss the president as an agent of destabilisation who had little interest in the country’s prosperity. His visit to the Presidential Villa today added to several of such he had made since Mr Buhari assumed office in May 2015.
