As opposition political parties plan towards sacking the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, from Aso Rock in 2027, the presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, in the 2023 election, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has met with former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
DAILY POST reports that Kwankwaso, alongside former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, met with Obasanjo at his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, OOPL, residence in Abeokuta at the weekend.
Kwankwaso, who confirmed the meeting via a post on his official X handle, said their conversation at the meeting centred on “national issues, including the future of politics and governance in Nigeria”.
He wrote, “I was pleased to be in the 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”.
Urban Express News Online reports that Obasanjo has been a major critic of the present administration led by President Bola Tinubu.
The former president, who has been clamouring for better governance in Nigeria, supported Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, during the 2023 election.
