Former President Goodluck Jonathan has updated President Muhammadu Buhari on the political situation in The Gambia, where the country s President, Adama Barrow, is seeking re-election amidst political tension and uncertainties.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Barrow had on December 3 met with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where the two leaders engaged in bilateral talks.
The 53-year old Gambian leader later told State House correspondents that his country still needed Nigeria s stabilising support. Things would have been very difficult for us without the invaluable support you gave, Barrow said.
Meanwhile, in a brief interview with State House correspondents at the end of the closed door meeting, Jonathan said he briefed Buhari about the outcome of his mission to the Gambian capital Banjul.

Nigeria: I Was Judged Harshly Before 2015 Elections - Goodluck Jonathan
By Luminous Jannamike
Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said he was wrongly judged by some of his friends and political opponents before the 2015 presidential election because of his personal convictions and the vision he had for the country.
He, however, insisted that he does not hold any grudge against his detractors for their harsh criticisms.
It would be recalled that the ex-President was widely criticised, before the election, for his approach to alleged corruption in his administration, the perennial problem of insecurity, and the sacking of some top government functionaries within his administration including the former Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, ex-Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, among other.
