Former Kano State governor and national political figure, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, on Friday disclosed that he hosted former Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola, at his residence in Abuja.
Kwankwaso made this known in a post shared on his X handle on March 27, 2026, where he described the visit as a friendly and cordial meeting between longtime associates. According to him, Aregbesola, who currently serves as the National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), visited him in the evening.
“It was a pleasure to receive my dear friend, His Excellency Rauf Aregbesola, former Governor of Osun State and National Secretary of the ADC, this evening at my residence in Abuja,” Kwankwaso wrote.
Though details of their discussion were not disclosed, the meeting has drawn attention in political circles, given the stature of both men and their influence across different regions of the country. Kwankwaso, a former presidential candidate and leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, remains a prominent figure in northern politics, while Aregbesola continues to play a strategic role within the ADC following his tenure as governor and minister.
Observers say such high-level engagements among political leaders often signal ongoing consultations and alignments ahead of future political activities in the country. While neither Kwankwaso nor Aregbesola hinted at any political agreement, the timing of the visit has fueled speculation about possible collaborations or broader discussions concerning national issues.
Both politicians have, over the years, maintained significant followings and have been actively involved in shaping political discourse in Nigeria. Their meeting in Abuja, the nation’s capital, underscores the continued interactions among key stakeholders across party lines.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from Aregbesola regarding the visit. However, political analysts note that such engagements, even when framed as social visits, often carry underlying political significance, especially in a dynamic political environment like Nigeria’s.
The development comes amid ongoing realignments within opposition parties as political actors continue consultations across the country.
