Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, met with former Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola on Saturday.

However, it was not immediately possible to determine the specifics of the issues that were addressed during the discussion in Aregbesola’s Lagos home.

However, sources from the NNPP’s Osun State branch, who wanted to remain anonymous since he was not permitted to speak at the meeting, claimed that the politicians discussed matters about national politics.

Aregbesola-backed political group, Omoluabi Progressives had recently announced its exit from the All Progressives Congress in Osun, citing victimisation, among others, by the mainstream APC.

However, Osun NNPP Chairman, Dr Tosin Odeyemi, who shared pictures taken by Kwankwaso and Aregbesola after the meeting, when asked to comment on the development said, “The meeting took place at the residence of Aregbesola in Lagos.

“The meeting reflected a shared commitment to strengthening democratic institutions and fostering national development.

“The third force in Nigeria’s political landscape presently is NNPP and the party leadership will leave no stone on turn in making Nigeria great again.”
