President Muhammadu Buhari, Chief of Staff Prof Ibrahim Gambari and ECOWAS Special Envoy and former President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan during a briefing on the Mali crisis at the State House Abuja.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday briefed President Muhammadu Buhari on the face-off between Mali and Cote D’Ivoire over detained Ivorian soldiers.
Jonathan is ECOWAS Special Envoy on the situation in Mali.
The President met with his predecessor on Wednesday at State House, Abuja, as he received updates from Jonathan.
About 49 Ivorian soldiers had been detained in Mali for ‘unlawful entry,’ and only the three females in the team have been released, leaving 46.
The development is threatening a rupture in the relationship between the two countries.
Cote D’Ivoire has condemned the act as ‘hostage taking,’ and says it may take action, hence the need for intervention of ECOWAS leaders, as advocated by the Special Envoy, former President Jonathan.
Buhari pledged an initiative from Nigeria, towards immediate resolution of the impasse.
