Kwankwaso, in a statement on Friday via his 𝕏 Account, said the meeting took place on Thursday, 25th June, 2026.
According to the former Governor of Kano State, he was accompanied to the meeting, which took place in Kano, by former Deputy Governor and NDC gubernatorial candidate, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo.
“Last night, I paid a courtesy visit to our esteemed leader, His Excellency Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, at his accommodation in Kano.
“I was accompanied by the former Deputy Governor and our gubernatorial candidate, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo,” Kwankwaso wrote in a personally signed statement in which he also shared pictures from the meeting.
As earlier reported by NEWSNGR, Kwankwaso’s media aide, Saifullahi Hassan, described the meeting as an opportunity for warm exchanges between the leaders.
Recall that 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.
