Former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso met with immediate past Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola at his Lagos residence on Saturday.
Kwankwaso, a two-term governor of Kano and former minister was the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections.
In a post on Social media, Kwankwaso said the meeting was centred around discussions on national issues, including politics, governance, and Nigeria’s democratic future.
“This evening, I had the pleasure to visit the former Governor of Osun State and former Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, at his residence in Lagos. The meeting afforded us the opportunity to engage in discussions on national politics, governance, and the future of Nigeria’s democratic landscape,” Kwankwaso wrote on X.
This meeting comes at a time when there are growing calls for opposition parties to unite against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
Aregbesola, a former protégé of President Tinubu, was recently removed from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He is also at odds with former Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola. Oyetola succeeded Aregbesola as Osun State governor before being appointed minister by ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
