Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday met with former president Goodluck Jonathan.
Bukola Saraki, a former Senate president, disclosed this in a post on Twitter on Tuesday.
The video showed Jonathan exchanging pleasantries with the PDP leaders.

Jonathan is a registered member of the PDP. He was elected under the party’s platform as a two-term Bayelsa Deputy Governor.
He became the state governor following the impeachment of Diepreye Alamieyeseigha in December 2005.
Jonathan was also elected as Nigeria’s Vice President on the party’s platform in 2007. He was sworn-in as President in May 2010 following the death of his principal, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
He contested and won the 2011 presidential election, but lost the 2015 election to President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Since leaving office, Jonathan has, however, taken a step back from partisan politics and being more involved in diplomatic statesman ventures across Africa.
