President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday held talks with senior pastor of The Citadel Global Community Church Tunde Bakare at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Details of their meeting were not disclosed by presidential aides who posted pictures of the meeting on social media.
Bakare, who was Mr Buhari’s running mate in 2011, had recently claimed those around the president looked tired.
“Change of guards simply means that we need fresh hands and insights into how to fix the problems of Nigeria. Everyone looks tired around the President and we need a change of guards to bring competent people to handle critical issues,” he said.
Bakare quickly said he was not calling for a coup.
The clergyman also called for a change to the 1999 constitution, adding that it was erroneous to say the unity of the nation was not negotiable.
