Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, is currently in a closed-door meeting with the National Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
A brief video shared on Wednesday confirmed the presence of the two political figures at the meeting venue. The footage showed Makinde arriving and exchanging greetings with Kwankwaso and other attendees.
Details of the discussion were not disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
The meeting comes weeks after Makinde and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, visited the Uphill Mansion of former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, in Minna, Niger State — a move widely interpreted as part of early political consultations ahead of the 2027 general election.
Kwankwaso recently returned to Nigeria through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport following what the NNPP described as strategic international engagements in India.
His return also follows reports of a proposed bill before the United States Congress in which he was named among individuals recommended for targeted sanctions over alleged religious freedom violations in Nigeria.
