The meeting with the ex-military officials occurs at a time when certain legislators are allegedly scheming to appoint an interim administration.
The former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, and the former head of state, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, were both visited by the vice president-elect, Kashim Shettima, on Thursday.
In the midst of Ramadan, Shettima, who was in Minna, the capital of the Niger State, paid tribute separately to the two past presidents of Nigeria.

Channels Television was informed by sources close to the two leaders that Shettima’s travels had something to do with the upcoming All Progressives Congress (APC) administration, which would be headed by President-elect Bola Tinubu.
According to the reports, Tinubu is looking for the two eminent figures’ endorsement.
The Department of State Services (DSS) on Wednesday verified a scheme by some politicians to impose an interim administration, and it was further learned that the Vice President-elect was to meet with the two former military commanders about the plot.
