- President Bola Tinubu considered appointing Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of NNPP, as a minister
- This move was seen as Tinubu’s strategy to gain Kwankwaso’s support and potentially bring him back to the APC
- However, Kwankwaso’s absence from the final ministerial list was surprising, a development that sources shed light on in this report
FCT, Abuja – There were strong indications that President Bola Tinubu would appoint the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as one of his ministers.
Tinubu held at least two closed-door meetings with the founder of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, who also later confirmed that there were discussions on the possibility of him working with the president.
