President Muhammadu Buhari and a former governor of Borno State, Ali-Modu Sherrif, are currently meeting at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.

They are meeting behind the closed doors of the president's office.

Sherrif, a former caretaker committee chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, arrived the Villa at about 2:40pm.

This is the first time Sherrif will be meeting with Buhari since the former was ousted as PDP's caretaker committee's chairman.

He had met with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa on September 22, 2017.

The national leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress had last month asked Sheriff, who had interest joining the party in Abuja, to do so at his ward.
