The 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 on Tuesday.
Obasanjo was received on Thursday by Kwankwaso and Kano NDC governorship candidate, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, it was learnt.
In a statement, Kwankwaso’s media aide, Saifullahi Hassan, confirmed the visit, describing it as an avenue for warm exchanges between the leaders.
‎ ‎But Hassan did not provide further details on the discussion between the two politicians during the meeting.
Recall that ‎Kwankwaso was Minister of Defence under Obasanjo’s second tenure between 2003 and 2007 and has kept good relationship with him since then.
Meanwhile, the National Chairman of Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has insisted that Kwankwaso did not buy any nomination form from the party.
Baba-Ahmed made this clarification Tuesday during an interview on ARISE Television’s Morning Show, while reacting to the allegation that Kwankwaso bought 69 nomination forms to take over the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
“But 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 ties to the party.
The National Chairman said the man who alleged that Kwankwaso bought the PRP nomination forms is not a member of the party.
