Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Wednesday met behind closed doors with the National Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
A short video circulated by Oyo Affairs showed the governor arriving at the meeting venue and exchanging pleasantries with Kwankwaso and other associates.
“Former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, is currently in a closed-door meeting with Governor Seyi Makinde in Ibadan,” the platform reported.
As of the time of filing this report, the agenda of the meeting had not been made public.
The development comes weeks after Makinde and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar paid a visit to the Uphill Mansion of a former Military President in Minna, Niger State — a move widely viewed as part of early consultations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Kwankwaso recently returned to the country through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, following what the NNPP described as strategic engagements in India.
His return also comes amid reports of a proposed bill before the United States Congress in which he was listed among individuals recommended for targeted sanctions over alleged religious freedom violations in Nigeria.
