February 25, (THEWILL) — Former Governor of Kano State and National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Wednesday met with the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, in Ibadan.
Addressing newsmen after the closed-door meeting, Kwankwaso said the visit was largely rooted in personal friendship rather than partisan considerations.
He explained that his trip to Oyo State was primarily at the invitation of the NNPP state chairman to inaugurate the party’s office in Ibadan and to discuss party-related matters.
“I deemed it appropriate to pay a courtesy call on Governor Makinde, a longstanding associate, before proceeding to the party office,” Kwankwaso said, reflecting on the cordial ties between them.
Kwankwaso also recalled his earlier association with the People’s Democratic Party, the platform under which Governor Makinde currently serves.
After the meeting, he proceeded to the NNPP state office for scheduled party engagements.
