For the first known time since his assumption of office on May 29, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met Noble Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Soyinka is not known to be a regular visitor to the Presidential Villa but known for his hard stand on especially national issues.
Recall he was the first to call for national economic summit in the present regime.
Little wonder his coming to the Villa was a surprise to Reporters.
Meanwhile, there was no official reason as to his "August" visit to the Villa that lasted at about an hour.
But speaking to the State House Correspondents after the meeting, Soyinka who was astonished to see a battery of reporters waiting for him for comments on the outcome of the meeting said:
"Wait, wait, wait, I didn't come here to see you people. I came to discuss one or two things.
When persuaded to speak, he said: " I came to talk about a few things, national and international matters, general matters. That's all.
I will be holding a press conference in about a week. You can ask me any question you like there. For now, I would just like to get away
