When asked the purpose of the visit he said, "It was not an official visit but he (Najeeb) invited him for breakfast".
In a surprise move, Delhi Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung on Thursday afternoon submitted his resignation to the Government of India.
Jung also met PM Narendra Modi this morning but his resignation has not yet been accepted.
Jung was regularly in news for his power tussle with Arvind Kejriwal since the latter was elected chief minister of Delhi.
Kejriwal had often accused Jung of working at the behest of the Centre.
The Delhi CM had accused Jung of "supporting the BJP" to "cripple" Delhi. However, Kejriwal was "surprised" by Jung's exit and wished him well for his future endeavours.
Jung did "very good work" in the capital despite their bitter turf war, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said.
"Despite the bitter-sweet experiences (with the Lt Governor), I can say that we did very good work for Delhi along with Jung," the Aam Aadmi Party leader tweeted.
"All the best for the future," Sisodia added, shortly after Jung resigned as the Lt Governor of Delhi.
Sources say former home secretary Anil Baijal is likely to replace Jung.

Jung had one and a half years of service still left. Sources say he took this decision due to personal reasons and was considering it for a long time.
The immediate trigger behind the resignation remained a puzzle but sources of Telegraph in the BJP hinted that Jung, caught in the protracted confrontation between the Centre and the Kejriwal regime, wasn't being able to take the pressure any more.
Kejriwal and Jung had clashed over administrative jurisdiction, before the fight reached the judiciary. Earlier this year, Delhi High Court had ruled that the LG was the state's administrative head. The matter is now pending in the Supreme Court.
"His resignation is for personal reasons," said Ajay Chaudhary, officer on special duty in the lieutenant-governor's office. "LG wanted to spend time with his family and return to his first love, academics." Jung, 65, was vice-chancellor of Jamia Millia Islamia before he took over as lieutenant-governor in July 2013.
Union home secretary Rajiv Mehrishi told reporters Jung had met him on Tuesday about some issues regarding Delhi. "But he did not give any indication of his impending resignation."
Kejriwal tweeted: "Sh Jung's resignation is a surprise to me. My best wishes in all his future endeavours."
An undated letter by Jung that surfaced today did little to clear the mystery. In the letter to Mehrishi, Jung says he would be on a "private visit" to Goa from December 25 to January 1, suggesting he had not decided to quit then. "(The) Chief Secretary will keep in touch with me about important developments," he says, according to PTI.
Former Delhi police commissioner Ajay Raj Sharma is said to be in the reckoning to succeed Jung.
