Olalekan Adetayo, AbujaTHE President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd. ), again on Monday received briefings from former President Goodluck Jonathan, who is the Economic Community of West African States Special Envoy to Mali, on the current situation in the country. The statement was titled, ‘President Buhari receives updates on Mali situation from Special Envoy, Goodluck Jonathan’. “About two-thirds of Mali is occupied by terrorists, and it makes common sense to secure the country, rather than pursuing individual interests,” he quoted Buhari as saying. “The Interim Government would then organise elections to restore full constitutional order,” Jonathan reported told the President.
