Kaduna – General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd), former military Head of State, yesterday, met in a close session with former governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, in the retired general’s house in Kaduna, over what Bafarawa later said was the unity of the North.

Bafarawa in an interview with newsmen shortly after the meeting, which lasted an hour, said their discussions centred on how to unite the North for sustainable development. Bafarawa, a chieftain of All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, said the meeting was not about political parties, but to find solution to the disunity in the North.

He said: “The North is in disarray and there is need to discuss and unite the region. “I didn’t come as a member ANPP to visit Gen. Buhari and I did not come to see him on the ground of his own party, Congress for Progressive Change, CPC. I came to him  to discuss in order to chart the way forward on how we can unite ourselves in the North because the North is in disarray, therefore, we need to unite since we are masters of all trade when you talk of political activities in the North.”
