Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, paid a courtesy visit to the Vice-Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, at his residence in Kano.
Naijaonpoint learnt that Obasanjo was received on Thursday by Kwankwaso and the Kano NDC governorship candidate, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo.
Confirming the visit in a statement, Kwankwaso’s media aide, Saifullahi Hassan, described it as an opportunity for warm exchanges between the leaders.
However, Hassan did not give further details on the discussion between the two politicians during the meeting.
Recall that Kwankwaso served as Minister of Defence during Obasanjo’s second tenure between 2003 and 2007, and has since then maintained a good relationship with him.
Meanwhile, the National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has insisted that Kwankwaso did not purchase any nomination form from the party.
Baba-Ahmed made this clarification on Tuesday in an interview on ARISE Television’s Morning Show, while reacting to the allegation that Kwankwaso bought 69 nomination forms to take control of the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
However, Baba-Ahmed said it would be impossible for Kwankwaso to have bought 69 forms from the PRP in Kano, stressing that the former governor has no official connection with the party.
The National Chairman said the man alleging that Kwankwaso bought the PRP nomination forms is not a member of the party.
