Abdulmumin Jibrin, a close ally of Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), met with President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday.
The meeting comes days after Kwankwaso, former governor of Kano, alleged that the south is being favoured in terms of infrastructure and development under the current federal government.
Jibrin, a former member of the house of representatives, spoke to journalists after the meeting, saying the discussion focused on national unity and development.
The visit comes amid rising speculation over a possible alliance between Kwankwaso and Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
Asked if the meeting was part of defection plans to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jibrin declined a direct answer but said “everything is open” and “a possibility”.
“I do not think it is time for that conversation,” he said.
“But everything is open, and everything is a possibility. The most important thing is the stability of the country and its unity. I believe that when we get to the bridge, we’ll cross it.”
Jibrin, who maintains strong ties with both Tinubu and Kwankwaso, described both leaders as seasoned politicians committed to Nigeria’s peace and progress.
“The president is a first-class politician. The national leader of the NNPP is also a thoroughbred politician,” he said.
“I believe both of them are committed to the peace, unity, and prosperity of Nigeria.”
Jibrin also addressed recent criticisms by Kwankwaso, saying divergent views should not be overblown.
“Every leader does his best, and it depends on how you want to rate him. You can decide to see the cup half full or half empty,” he said.
“But I also believe everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it can always contribute to deepening the discourse.”
