In a move that has further ignited speculation regarding a unified front for 2027, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), hosted a high-profile gathering of opposition leaders at his Kano home this Sunday.
The Sallah festivities served as the backdrop for a significant meeting between Kwankwaso and several political heavyweights, including:
-
Peter Obi: The 2023 Labour Party presidential contender, who recently transitioned to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
-
Seyi Makinde: The current Governor of Oyo State and a prominent figure within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
-
Seriake Dickson: The former Governor of Bayelsa State, representing the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
A Growing Trend of Collaboration
Sharing the moment via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Kwankwaso expressed his pleasure in hosting the delegation, offering prayers for national prosperity and peace. While the public messaging focused on the holiday spirit, the political undertones were hard to ignore.
This isn’t the first time these paths have crossed recently. In February 2026, Kwankwaso held private talks with Governor Makinde in Ibadan. This string of high-level interactions suggests that the groundwork for a major opposition realignment is being laid well in advance of the next general election cycle to challenge the ruling APC.
