Kwankwaso Reveals Agenda Of Famous Visit To Obasanjo Along With Donald Duke
As the presidential candidate for the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election Kwankwaso emphasized the importance of such high-level consultations
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the leader of the prominent northern group known as Kwankwasiyya, has disclosed the agenda of his recent visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Accompanied by former
Governor Donald Duke and other associates, Kwankwaso visited Obasanjo at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
During their meeting, they discussed significant national issues, particularly the future of politics and governance in Nigeria.
As the presidential candidate for the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election, which resulted in President Bola Tinubu’s victory, Kwankwaso emphasized the importance of such high-level consultations.
This meeting with Obasanjo, a respected elder statesman with considerable influence both nationally and internationally, is a part of Kwankwaso’s efforts to position himself as a frontrunner in the race for the presidency.
Kwankwaso expressed his gratitude to Obasanjo, stating, “We are grateful to Baba for his warm support and hospitality.” The term “Baba” is a Yoruba word meaning “father” and is commonly used as a term of endearment for esteemed older individuals.
Since leaving office on May 29, 2007, Obasanjo has consistently been a sought-after figure for those aspiring to replace a sitting administration.
This includes members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), who previously lobbied for his support to defeat the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015.
Obasanjo, a founding member of the PDP, played a crucial role in getting the Goodluck Jonathan administration into office before the APC took power. Read More
