The meeting, which lasted about two hours, was held away from the media and other officials. Kwankwaso was accompanied by top NNPP figures, including the party’s National Chairman, Dr Ajuji Ahmed; National Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson; and Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Buba Galadima, alongside other senior members.
Sources disclosed that the NNPP delegation was in Oyo State to inaugurate the party’s state office and meet with stakeholders as part of efforts to strengthen its structure in the South-West.
Speaking briefly with journalists after the meeting, Kwankwaso dismissed speculations of political negotiations, describing the visit as a personal courtesy call. He noted that his relationship with Governor Makinde predates current political alignments and cuts across party lines.
“This visit is more about personal friendship than party politics. Governor Makinde and I have known each other for a long time. Before proceeding to our party engagement in the state, I felt it was proper to pay him a courtesy call,” he said.
Kwankwaso also reflected on his political journey, recalling that he was among the founding members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 1998 and was elected Governor of Kano State in 1999 on its platform.
The former Kano governor has been consulting widely in recent times, particularly following political developments involving his protégé and Kano State Governor, Abba Kabiru Yusuf.
After the meeting with Makinde, Kwankwaso proceeded to inaugurate the NNPP state office in Ibadan, describing it as part of ongoing efforts to consolidate the party’s grassroots presence and expand its influence in the region.
