Senator representing Kano Central
District, Rabiu Kwankwaso has spoken on his reported secret meeting with former
president Olusegun Obasanjo.
Co-Chairman of Nigeria
intervention Movement Olisa Agbakoba on Sunday confirmed Obasanjo met with
former governors, political parties and some leaders in a secret meeting in
Lagos.
Reacting, Kwankwaso’s political
associate, Hajiya Binta Rabi’u Spikin, dismissed the reports of Kwankwaso’s
presence at the meeting.
He said the news was based on
eagerness of the people to know where Kwankwaso stands.
He said “Senator Kwankwaso never
met with Obasanjo in Lagos state as speculated.
“Senator Kwankwaso was in Kaduna
having series of meetings with various stakeholders of Kwankwasiyya-led faction
of the APC. The story that went viral on social media was false, unfounded and
uncalled-for.
“People are clamouring for the
‘real change’ hence they were eager to know where the national leader of
Kwankwasiyya, Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso focuses his political attention, so they
could follow him.”
A member of Kwankwasiyya, Alhaji
Umar Haruna Doguwa, also denied such meeting, stating that such meeting if it
held, it would not be political.
“Although I am not aware of any
meeting between Obj and Kwankwaso, but in my opinion such a meeting if at all
they met should not be seen as political.
“This is because the former
president is now an elder statesman and has been meeting with various people
including President Muhammadu Buhari.” Doguwa added
