The National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Sunday hosted prominent opposition figures at his residence in Kano as part of Sallah celebrations.

Among the visitors were the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, now a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC); Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); and former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson.

Kwankwaso shared photos of the gathering via his verified X account, describing the occasion as a joyful Sallah celebration.

“Delighted to host Their Excellencies, Peter Obi, Seyi Makinde, and Seriake Dickson at my Kano residence for this joyful Sallah celebration. Wishing everyone peace, blessings, and prosperity,” he wrote.

The meeting comes amid ongoing speculation about a possible realignment among opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Earlier in February 2026, Kwankwaso held a closed-door meeting with Governor Makinde in Ibadan, a development that further fuelled discussions about potential alliances aimed at challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
