On Thursday, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the vice presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, paid a courtesy visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his temporary residence in Kano. This visit was confirmed through a statement released by Kwankwaso's media aide, Saifullahi Hassan, on Friday.

Accompanying Kwankwaso was the governorship candidate for Kano State, Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo. The meeting provided an opportunity for a warm exchange between the political figures, although the statement did not disclose specific details regarding the discussions.

This visit comes amid increasing political activity as the 2027 general elections approach, but there were no indications from either camp regarding potential political alliances or electoral strategies.
