Former presidential candidate and National Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Senator Musa Kwankwaso, on Wednesday inaugurated the party’s office in Ibadan, establishing its presence in the Oyo State capital ahead of the 2027 general election.
While in Ibadan, the NNPP national leader paid Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde a courtesy visit.
Both leaders met behind closed doors at the Government Secretariat, Ibadan.
Although the outcome of the meeting was not made public, it was believed that it was connected to consolidating the longstanding cordial relationship between Senator Kwankwaso and Governor Makinde.
Among Kwankwaso’s entourage were the NNPP National Chairman, Dr Ajid Ahmed; the National Publicity Secretary, Najipo Johnson; and other top party officials.
Speaking with newsmen after the meeting, Kwankwaso said he was in Ibadan primarily to inaugurate the NNPP’s new state office as part of efforts to strengthen the party’s structure and unity in Oyo State ahead of the 2027 general election.
He added that his meeting with Governor Makinde transcended partisan considerations.
