The former President added that the Constitutional Court had been reconstituted and inaugurated, while vacancies in the Supreme Court had been filled, thus sorting out the judicial arm of government.
On his part, President Buhari thanked Jonathan for what he called “the stamina you have displayed” on the Mali issue.
He called for further consultations with the Chairman of ECOWAS, President Mahamadou Issoufou of Niger Republic.
