FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo has received former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso and former Cross River Governor, Donald Duke.
The political figures met on Saturday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
It is unclear what discussions they had, but it may not be unconnected with the 2027 general elections and the political permutations revolving around it.
But Kwankwaso, the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) presidential candidate during the 2023 election, disclosed this in a post on his X account on Saturday night.
Kwankwaso explained that during the courtesy visit there were deliberations on “significant national issues, including the future of politics and governance in Nigeria defined the conversation.”
The post reads: “I was pleased to be in company of my friend, HE Donald Duke and other associates to pay a courtesy call on President Olusegun Obasanjo at his residence in Abeokuta.
“Deliberations on significant national issues, including the future of politics and governance in Nigeria defined the conversation.
“We are grateful to Baba for his warm support and hospitality. – RMK,” he wrote.
This newspaper reports that in November, Obasanjo attended Kwankwaso’s daughter’s wedding in Kano alongside other top political and business leaders in the country.
The former president was seen wearing a red cap, an insignia associated with Kwankwasiyya movement, as he was received at the occasion by Kwankwaso and the governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf.
