President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday met behind closed doors with visiting Gambia’s President Adama Barrow at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Barrow, who is visiting Nigeria for the first time since he took office on Jan. 19, 2017, arrived at the Presidential Villa at about 11.50a.m.

The 51-year-old ended the rule of the longtime leader of Gambia, Yahya Jammeh, who is currently in exile in Equatorial Guinea.

Buhari played a major role in ensuring smooth democratic transition in The Gambia even when Jammeh refused to step aside.

The Economic Community of West African States appointed Buhari the Mediator in Chief on the Gambian political impasse.
