Fresh Details Emerge After Kwankwaso, Atiku’s Meeting In Abuja

Details have emerged regarding the meeting between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, held at Kwankwaso’s Abuja residence on Tuesday evening.

Atiku, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Kwankwaso, associated with the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), both participated in the presidential election held on February 25, in which President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress emerged as the winner.

While Atiku challenged the election outcome in court, Kwankwaso developed a closer rapport with Tinubu, leading to speculation that he was seeking a political appointment from Tinubu. Despite this, Kwankwaso was not included in Tinubu’s ministerial list.
