The leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, on Sunday hosted key opposition figures at his residence in Kano as part of the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
Among those in attendance were former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi; Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde; and former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson.
The gathering, held at Kwankwaso’s Miller Road residence, attracted supporters and well-wishers, creating a festive atmosphere in the Kano metropolis.
The visit, which coincided with the annual Kwankwasiyya Sallah festivities, saw the political figures exchange greetings with the host and Muslim faithful celebrating the occasion.
Speaking during the visit, Obi extended Sallah greetings to Muslims across the country and urged Nigerians to participate actively in the 2027 general elections as a means of improving the nation. He also described Kwankwaso as “a great leader and a man of the people”.
The meeting comes amid ongoing political realignments within Nigeria’s opposition space, fuelling discussions about possible collaborations ahead of the next general elections, although no formal announcement was made at the event.
