Rabiu Kwankwaso, the national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party, and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde are currently in a closed door meeting in Ibadan, the state capital.
The two political figures were present at the location, according to a short video posted by Oyo Affairs on Wednesday. In the video, Kwankwaso and other attendees were seen exchanging greetings with Makinde as he arrived.
“Former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, is currently in a closed-door meeting with Governor Seyi Makinde in Ibadan,” the platform stated.
Details of the meeting were not disclosed as of press time.
A few weeks prior, Makinde and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar visited the Uphill Mansion of a previous Military President in Minna, Niger State. This visit was generally associated with early political contacts ahead of the 2027 general election.
Kwankwaso recently returned to Nigeria through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport following what the NNPP described as “strategic international engagements” in India.
Kwankwaso’s return also follows reports of a proposed bill before the United States Congress in which he was named among individuals recommended for targeted sanctions over alleged religious freedom violations in Nigeria.
