Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate for the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections, on Saturday, visited former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The meeting, held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), also included former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke.
Kwankwaso shared details of the meeting on his X (formerly Twitter) account, revealing that the discussions focused on pressing national matters, particularly the future of Nigerian politics and governance.
“I was honored to be in the company of my friend, HE Donald Duke, and other associates during our courtesy visit to President Olusegun Obasanjo at his residence in Abeokuta. Our conversation revolved around significant national issues, with a special emphasis on the future of politics and governance in Nigeria,” Kwankwaso wrote.
“We are grateful to Baba for his warm support and hospitality. – RMK,” he added.
The meeting comes after Obasanjo attended Kwankwaso’s daughter’s wedding in November 2024, where he was seen wearing a red cap, a symbol of the Kwankwasiyya movement.
The former president was warmly welcomed by Kwankwaso and Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf at the wedding, which was attended by numerous prominent political and business figures.
