privately to thank him for the gesture.
“And completing the railway programme is good. It shows that
the President is doing, is going on with the legacy projects of the previous
administrations. That is the way to go.
“I sent a letter to him. I commended him verbally too but
you are asking me now. Let me also do it publicly. I appreciate it, I thank Mr.
President, the Minister of Transportation, and others that made it possible,”
he said.
Earlier, the former had said he maintains a good
relationship with his successor, President Buhari.
Asked about their current relationship, he said: “You’ve
been seeing me coming and you have been seeing us having friendly
conversations.
“So, our relationship is ok.”
