Tinubu Holds Closed-door Meeting With Kwankwaso
Former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso and his longtime friend, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday night held a Closed-door meeting at the president’s official residence.
When contacted, Presidency sources could not confirm the details of the discussion between the two stalwarts.
The meeting according to a source was held at the residence and was, therefore, off limits for most aides.
The meeting between the duo follows Kwankwaso’s appearance at the opening of the Nigeria Forest Economy Summit 2025 held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.
Recall that Tinubu had met Kwankwaso in Aso Rock Villa on June 9, 2023, days after his inauguration, making Kwankwaso the first presidential candidate to visit the President.
Addressing State House correspondents at the time, Kwankwaso said he discussed politics and governance with the president.
He also said he might work with Tinubu, but did not state the details.
Although Monday’s meeting was not open to the press, the visit came only weeks after the opposition African Democratic Congress announced a broad-based coalition aimed at challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress in the 2027 elections.
Although the NNPP is not formally part of the ADC-led coalition, opposition figures have courted Kwankwaso as they seek to unify disparate parties ahead of the 2027 presidential race.
