Former President Olusegun Obasanjo paid a courtesy visit to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Vice-Presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, at his residence in Kano, on Thursday.
Obasanjo was received by Kwankwaso and the NDC governorship candidate in the state, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo.
Kwankwaso’s media aide, Saifullahi Hassan, confirmed the visit in a statement, describing it as an opportunity for “warm exchanges” between the leaders.
He, however, did not give further details on what the two politicians discussed during the meeting.

Kwankwaso served as Minister of Defence during Obasanjo’s second tenure between 2003 and 2007, and has since then maintained a good relationship with him.
NDC Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, is also a loyalist of the former President.
Obasanjo backed Obi in the 2023 elections and there are reports that he mid-wifed the Obi-Kwankwaso alliance for the 2027 elections.
