Answering questions from Journalists after the meeting, Saraki said, “It went well. It was a good discussion . You know these are elder statesmen with years of experience and a lot of wisdom. They are still trying to pass some of those wisdom on to us. They talked about their thoughts, fears and concerns about Nigeria going forward They also wanted to know my own thoughts about some of these problems can be addressed.
