Makinde and Kwankwaso Hold Closed-Door Meeting in Ibadan
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde held a closed-door meeting with Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former Governor of Kano State and current leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), in Ibadan. The meeting took place on a Wednesday, and a brief video shared showed Makinde arriving and exchanging greetings with Kwankwaso.
The specifics of their discussions were not disclosed at the time of reporting. This meeting follows a recent visit by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to Makinde's residence, which is part of broader political consultations leading up to the 2027 general elections.
Kwankwaso had recently returned to Nigeria via the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport after a trip to India, where he described his engagement as strategic. His return coincided with reports of a proposed bill in the U.S.
Congress recommending sanctions against individuals in Nigeria for alleged violations of religious freedom.
