2027: 𝗞𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗼, 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱-𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴

Fresh political conversations ahead of the 2027 general elections have intensified following a closed-door meeting between the leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, and Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.

Sources familiar with the meeting revealed that the two influential politicians met privately to discuss issues bordering on national unity, governance, and possible political cooperation as alignments begin to shape ahead of the next election cycle.

Although details of their discussions were not officially disclosed, political observers say the meeting has sparked speculation about potential alliances beyond party lines, especially as opposition figures continue to explore strategies to challenge the ruling establishment in 2027.

Aides close to both camps described the meeting as “consultative,” noting that it focused on national development and the need for broader political collaboration. However, neither Kwankwaso nor Makinde has publicly confirmed whether the engagement signals a formal political partnership.

Analysts believe such high-level meetings reflect growing realignments within Nigeria’s political space, with major actors positioning themselves early as conversations about presidential ambition and coalition-building gather momentum.

The development comes amid increasing consultations among political leaders across party platforms, suggesting that the race toward 2027 may witness new alliances capable of reshaping the country’s political landscape.
