Former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has revealed details of his recent private meeting with NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi, describing their discussions as productive and focused on matters affecting both the party and the nation.
Kwankwaso disclosed the development in a post shared on his official X account, where he explained that Obi visited him at his residence in Abuja shortly after returning from an international trip.
According to the former governor, the meeting provided an opportunity for both leaders to exchange views on developments within the NDC as well as issues of national importance. He said the conversation was frank and constructive, reflecting the commitment of the party’s leadership to work together despite any challenges that may arise.
The meeting comes at a time when public attention has been focused on reports of disagreements within the relatively young political party. In recent weeks, concerns have emerged about internal issues involving some members and leaders of the NDC.
Kwankwaso, however, maintained that the party remains united and committed to its political objectives. He noted that leaders must continue to place the collective interest of the party above personal differences and remain focused on building a stronger political platform ahead of future elections.
He also stressed the need for patience, tolerance and sacrifice among party members, saying such qualities are necessary for maintaining unity and moving the organisation forward. According to him, differences of opinion are natural in politics, but they should not be allowed to weaken the party’s common purpose.
The former governor further stated that the NDC leadership remains determined to pursue its vision for the country and continue working together toward achieving its goals. He expressed confidence that cooperation among party leaders would help strengthen the organisation and improve its chances of success in the political landscape.
The meeting between Obi and Kwankwaso is expected to reassure supporters who have been concerned about reports of internal tensions. Their engagement also signals ongoing efforts by senior party figures to maintain cohesion as the NDC continues to position itself as a major force ahead of the 2027 general election.
With both leaders publicly reaffirming their commitment to the party, attention is likely to remain on how the NDC manages internal issues while preparing for future political contests across the country.
