Fresh facts emerged, on Tuesday, as to why the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, met separately with former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, in Paris, on Monday.

Daily Trust had earlier reported that Tinubu met with Kwankwaso during which he extended a hand of friendship with a view to working together after he takes over from President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29.

However, credible sources told our reporter that it was a tripartite meeting in Paris as besides the one between Tinubu and Kwankwaso, another one was held between the president-elect and Sanusi and then another one between Kwankwaso and the former emir.

“The three separate meetings were meant to strengthen ties. The president-elect seriously needs the support of the two leading personalities from Kano,” one of our sources said.

“While Kwankwaso is a politician in his own right who has a large followership not only in Kano but across the North, the former emir is a technocrat who knows the economy very well as evident in how he handled the Central Bank of Nigeria,” another source said.

The first meeting

According to sources, Tinubu and Kwankwaso met for hours in Paris, capital of France.

The former Lagos governor reportedly told Kwankwaso to reach out to his political associates on the need to work together.

The incoming president and his guest were said to have agreed to hold subsequent meetings.

But beyond that, it was gathered that the president-elect had offered a ministerial position to Kwankwaso. “He told the NNPP leader to choose between the ministry of agriculture and that of education,” one of our sources said.

It is not clear whether Kwankwaso will accept to serve as a minister in the event they sealed the partnership or he will give the slot to one of his loyalists.

“The meeting was attended by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila. Kwankwaso was accompanied to the meeting by member-elect from Kano, Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin,” the source said.

“Sen Oluremi Tinubu was also there to receive Kwankwaso’s wife, Hajia Salamatu who came with her husband. Discussions were centred around their long term friendship since their days in the National Assembly in 1992, national unity and development, priorities for the new government, National Assembly contests and the plan by the president-elect for a government of national unity, which Kwankwaso has in principle accepted to join.”

The source said Tinubu also hinted at reconciling Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano and Kwankwaso. Ganduje had succeeded Kwankwaso in 2015, but the duo fell apart shortly after.

Daily Trust reports that Tinubu had defeated Kwankwaso and other 16 presidential candidates in the February 25, 2023 elections.

Kwankwaso, who ran on the platform of the NNPP, placed fourth in the election, winning only Kano State, a stronghold of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) came second while Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) came third.

Soon after his declaration, Tinubu extended an olive branch to those he defeated but Atiku and Obi rebuffed the call and headed to court calling for his sack. Both of them had claimed victory in the polls and alleged that they were rigged out by the ruling party in connivance with some vested interests.
On the other hand, Kwankwaso did not go to court.

Besides winning Kano in the presidential election and producing the governor, Kwankwaso’s NNPP had won two senate seats in the state, cleared 17 out of the 24 House of Representatives seats and 26 out of 40 seats of the State House of Assembly.

It was gathered that despite losing Kano in the presidential election to Kwankwaso, Tinubu believed the votes he got from the state and the North West played a key role in his emergence as president and working hard to maintain a positive disposition in the region.

The North West gave Tinubu 2, 652, 235 votes, which is over 30 per cent of the total votes he garnered across the country.

Our correspondent reports that the relationship between Tinubu and Kwankwaso is not new. They collectively formed the APC with other like-minds ahead of 2015.

The meeting between Tinubu, ex- Emir Sanusi

There were no details of what Kwankwaso and Emir Sanusi discussed but a source said they met for two hours and the discussion may not be unconnected with the recent political developments in Kano.

However, Daily Trust reports that there were rumours that the incoming NNPP government in Kano will revisit the dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi.

Recall that Ganduje dethroned Sanusi, who served as the 14th Emir of Kano, in 2020, over allegations of insubordination.

In his place, Aminu Bayero, son of the late Ado Bayero and Emir of Bichi, was installed as Sanusi’s replacement.

However, in a viral video posted on social media in April this year, Kwankwaso said he was confident that Abba Yusuf, governor-elect of the state, would have the wisdom to resolve “challenges” in the state.

“We campaigned and we are well-known in Nigeria, especially in Kano. What we showed the people is by God’s grace all the good projects we started when we were in government. This governor (Abba Kabir Yusuf) and his team will pick up from where we left off,” Kwankwaso said.

He said the opportunity to revisit Sanusi’s dethronement has presented itself and that he would advise the incoming government on what to do as an elder.

“We, as elders in the movement, will continue to advise them to do things that are proper,” Kwankwaso said.

“We tried not to talk about whether the emir would be removed or not, but now you see, the opportunity is there.

“Those who God made leaders will now decide on the next step and decision to take. They will review it and determine the right thing to be done.

“Apart from the issue of changing the emir, the emirates have now been divided into five. All of that will be reviewed too. When a leader comes into power whether in a country, state or local government area, he inherits things that are good and things that are difficult and challenging.

“We are confident God will give the governor (Abba Kabir Yusuf) the wisdom to come and resolve the challenges planted in Kano State so that everyone will live peacefully in Kano State,” he said.

But Ganduje had fired back the salvo saying the new emirates had come to stay.

Speaking during the Workers’ Day celebrations held at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano, Ganduje said God will not bring any body that will destroy them.

“Any of you that visits the headquarters of these new emirates will believe me that we have brought development to these places. These emirates were created for unity, progress, history, and also for the recovery of the reputation of the traditional institutions. We created them to honour the people of these regions.

“I want to assure you that these emirates are permanent, they have come to stay. And anybody that will destroy them, God Almighty will not bring him to Kano State. We assure you that these emirates were created because of you, because of your progress.

“Even if we are not in government, we are praying and we will keep praying for God to protect these emirates from all evils. I thank you all,” Ganduje said.

Details of Kwankwaso, Sanusi meeting sketchy

Our correspondent reports that even though the meeting between Kwankwaso and the former Emir of Kano had been confirmed, the details of what transpired have not been made public. But sources said Kwankwaso and Sanusi had been there for each other for a very long time. Kwankwaso was instrumental in the selection of Sanusi as Emir of Kano. This was soon after he was removed as CBN governor by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Tinubu is expected back in Nigeria ahead of his inauguration on May 29.

Racoon:
First it was the fanatic persecution of chrstains from antiquity, then the jihad wars, OIC issue, and Sanni Ahmed Yerima introduction of Sharia law as state law. There is the worst ethno-religious supremacist agenda introduced into government by Buhari. Then comes the flawed political muslim muslim combination in government.

Then now, religious colouration is being promoted as the operational policy of a supposedly non- secular organisation of government in a so called sovereign country. Why not divide the nation so that the Sharia justice system become the norm in the North?

You must be ignorant, fanatic bigot for saying this rubbish!
If your religion had no enough doctrines and guidance to come up with rules and regulations that govern people then Islam has and there is no where in Islamic jurisdiction that non-Muslins are tried in Shari'ah court except by their will. When your religion failed in all front to utilize the section of the constitution that gives Nigerians right to make laws that suits their culture and traditions Muslims took that advantage and came with Shari'a system but You are there confused and chose customary courts and now complaining. Muslims would be happy if u initiate Christian courts. Nonsense, go and hug transformer, hates for Islam and Muslims will only reduce your lifespan.

Felabrity:
They should also extradict Abba kyari

May we never have leaders with mental inferiority like yours.
Abba Kyari is Nigerian public servant and must have his case which allegedly happened in Nigeria not US dealt with here, however, the case here is committed at U.S and the guys don't belong to any Govt organisations.

God1000:
We don't care, he's a big hypocrite.

Did he hold press conference to say all these or are the journalists asking him questions conceriny incoming administration?
You need to eschew this nonsensical bigotry and move on.

MasterJayJay:
Do you know how many have been killed by terrorists/bandits/fulani herdsmen in Nigeria this year?
Is your Nigeria gone?

Whatever the case may be Nigeria recorded not more than 200 killings this year but U.S recorded 11000 homicide cases already since April.

I swear to God no country on earth has close to the homicide cases of U.S in the world including war devastated Nations. The average homicide cases in U.S Annually is around 40k.

e pass shame sef but na Nigerians want am like that...you can imagine if Nigerians from the North, south, West and East rise up in protest that will bring Nigerian government on their kneels, running to protect their lives and that of their families, they will give Nigerians a date that will not exceed 2 months to fix Nigerian power issues permanently. But we decide to keep quiet and complain on social media and drinking joints and allow them enjoy 24/7 electricity in their homes while we can't ha single hour in-interrupted power supply

Are u writing this when overwhelmed by emotion or are u really serious?
How in earth can u solve power problems in 2 months?
Power isn't like building roads and even roads u need a lot of Engineering works.
In Power u need more power generation plants, more electrical towers to convey the energy and infrastructure to evacuate the power and distribute the energy. So how can u do the civil and electrical works including importation of machineries and equipment to solve the problems in the 2 months u suggested?
These are the kind of ridiculous opinions that put Libya, Algeria, Syria, Egypt and Tunisia where they're today, a state of regrets. You can't force Govt to do impossible. Nigeria has the cheapest electricity in the world and demanding the right pay from citizens is another issue, you can't get everything in subsidy and expect it to get better....

Wetin all these aboki go find there sef

On Sudan, and why (Northern) Nigerians study/travel there—a response to some of the condescending, sensationalising and unmistakably prejudiced hot takes trending:

1. Sudan isn’t the collapsible banana republic you assumed it is. It’s not just what you see on CNN. It’s had over a century of health professions education, long before Nigeria had its first medical school, and they have an evolved medical education system that attracts undergraduate and postgraduate medical students from across the world. They had had a university for more than half a century before Nigeria had one.

2. Northern Nigeria and Sudan haven’t only had historical interactions and cultural similarities, but Sudanese tertiary institutions also offer superior specialised training in various fields of Islamic studies. For instance, Nigeria’s former CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, obtained a master’s degree in Islamic Jurisprudence at a Sudanese university in the 90s—and he’s one of the smartest public servants Nigeria has ever had. This Sudanese education you’ve portrayed with contempt guided him in reforming Islamic banking in Nigeria during his stewardship at the apex bank.

3. If your aim was to treat Sudan as a hub of substandard education in a country that rushes to French-speaking Cotonou for months-long bachelor’s degrees, that argument won’t hold water. Your stereotypical point about Sudan being a breeding ground of religious extremism is also your consumption of the wrong news channels. The last time I checked, some of the most notorious international terrorists we’ve seen were radicalised in the West, including Nigerian-born Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who’s studying at UCL when he fell apart.

4. A few months ago, Nigerian students were rescued from Ukraine, a European country, and we didn’t see these epistles about the whys of their choices of unstable and war-prone countries to study. FYI, Ukraine is a third-world country of blue-eyed, blonde-haired people. Or is your outrage because Sudan is an African or Muslim country?

5. Even as I wrote this, there were still Nigerians from all parts of the country studying in the war-torn Ukraine and Russia, two countries locked in the deadliest war in the world right now. Why aren’t you alarmed by the presence of Nigerians in Ukraine, a country that has been at war for decades? I know this because I have friends still studying there. So, let me ask you exactly what you asked northerners: “What kind of people are these people?”

6. You know quite well the reason Nigerians rush to study abroad—this fear of studying a 5-year programme for about a decade. Ironically, Sudan, for the Nigerians there, isn’t just for the affordability of the schools—a lot of our students in Sudan are from comfortable middle-class families that pay huge sums in tuition and other fees to give their children decent education at private institutions in a culturally familiar foreign country close to their home.

7. And, yes, this environment matters to some. The alienation of adapting to a new environment isn’t an easy cultural dislocation for some, and Sudan offers these northern Muslim students that avenue to study without the culture shocks or civilisational crisis, which even cosmopolitan black students experience in the West.

8. I think some of you should take your time and read up on Sudan. If you can’t write Ukraine off as just a place of war, that ancient African country too deserves the benefit of the doubt. It’s more than its war. There are people elsewhere who also wonder why there are still people in Nigeria, believing the entire country is at war. This isn’t even the time to point fingers.

Sudan hosts the largest Nigerians in diaspora with more than 3m Nigerians living in Sudan
https://www.theconclaveng.com/developing-over-3m-nigerians-live-in-sudan-fg/

Did you ask why there are hundred thousands of Nigerians in UK and U.S or is it mental inferiority that won't allow you to do so?

SmartProf:
Seems like an after-thought effort by Azman and Max airlines, after they've seen the massive publicity/PR, Airpeace has enjoyed by their massive and thoughtful gesture. Also, who knows what the Northern oligarchs have done to make these airlines wake up so they can avoid banters from Nigerians that they did nothing in the face of their brothers being stranded. Their efforts are appreciated anyways.

If u really know North then you will know that publicity and noise making isn't in our character!
Where were u when Azman was flying Nigerians from Ukraine?

fulani marry white

So Governor Sule is also Fulani? Everyone is seen as Fulani because of Buhari, very soon you will start calling us Northern Yorubas because of Tinubu!

CondenseMilk:
This thing is all over the internet oga!

Islam is a religion of Arabs. Arabs were previously idol worshippers before someone among them claimed to have a vision of islam

You are still beating around the bush. Islam reached Northern Nigeria through trade ties between Islamic Nations. I just want you to prove how Arabs have ever been present in Northern Nigeria for religious mission. Stop derailing from the subject-matter!

CondenseMilk:
Arabs were the first to invade Nigeria through the North.

Upon invasion, they were conquered at their entry into southern nigeria.

You could've find an aorta of lie to support your argument and ended up telling stories of how Arabs invaded North Africa but can't prove how they brought Islam to Nigeria.
There is no record of Arabians presence in Northern Nigeria, even the story of black Mali ruler, Mamsa Musa's link to Yoruba land had to do with business activities through which religion find its way more in the region through trade too!

[quote author=CondenseMilk post=122823395][/quote]You still can't justify how Islam is brought to Nigeria by Arabs invasion.

CondenseMilk:
These are their fellow Muslim bothers and sisters who's life has been disorganized by the war in Sudan.

Those who came to colonize Northern Nigeria in the past were possibly the Arab ancestors from these regions.

My fellow Northern brothers and sisters, hope you can now understand that your own kind of Islam is different from theirs!

National security and sovereignty is beyond religious affiliation, you are always descending your energy on religion and u need to know that Islam didn't come to Nigeria the way Christianity came. Go and verify not from religious bigots peddling lies about what they know nothing about. Islam came to Nigeria through Northern traders who go to Mali, Senegal, Morocco for trade and become converted to Islam and came back to spread it. There was never presence of Arabs in Nigeria for any religious mission in history. The fact that your ancestors were mate naked and illiterates by white colonial masters and imposed religion and culture on them doesn't necessarily means Islam came to us in similar manner, ours is a different case. Stop listening to lies and fictions!

Kwamandan must be crying to save his bitter politics against Kwankwaso in Kano but in the North it will be a great boost to have Kwankwaso back in APC prior to 2031 power shift. El Rufai has no intention of contesting any election, the rest aren't bonafide Northerners to be trusted with the next mandate as such Kwankwaso is the future of Northern politics. This plan now or in the future must work because Kwankwaso can't make it in small party, the plan was hatched when Abdulmuminu Jibrin left Tinubu campaign and rush to Kwankwaso before they later joined NNPP. Tinubu prevented Kwankwaso from staying in PDP and played the game well by making sure he ramained there since he refused his proposal of becoming possible VP of his party since it may cause huge disagreement for a new comer to be given VP slot in the party!

The bible says "Man looks at the outward appearance, but God sees the heart". For this, since man naturally does not have the right or access to see the heart, you owe man decent dressing, so that from your dressing, he can probably believe or probably accept the God that sees your heart.

If we dress like mad people or like prostitutes, how do we expect those in public to believe in the God that sees your heart?. Our Christianity is not a selfish Christianity for our hearts alone, but a Christianity that Glorifies God in our heart and in our outward appearance.. The Bible says "let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven".

Let your light shine with decent and beautiful dressing that will make men appreciate the God that sees your heart.

VeryKindHearted:
By my observation, the mood in the north among the masses is not that happy. I sense a kind of unhappiness among the people because Atiku did not win.

Let me take you down memory lane as follows:

APC almost denied Tinubu ticket because of the fear that Atiku Abubakar of PDP may likely win because the north will vote for Atiku if APC doesn't field a northerner.

They feared that APC could lose if Tinubu is the flag bearer.

Previous to this election, everywhere I went, I observed that the north was behind Atiku.

So let us say that the north has lost the election because PDP has lost.

The East has lost the election because LP has lost.

Why are the northerners blaming the east for their lost?

I sense a kind of anger from the northerners today. They said that the easterners only voted for LP.

I saw so many WhatsApp posts here in the north attacking Igbos. I hear some discussion bordering on the selfishness of easterners. They are not happy, I can confidently say.


I believe that the north thought that the east is so divided that it cannot come together to support a particular candidate.

I sincerely believed that they thought that PDP will win because somehow or other, the east would vote for PDP.


Although I never voted for APC(I am behind Obi). But I am happy because the north now knows that a candidate from the south can win even when the north is behind a northern candidate the way they were behind Atiku. The north now knows that if everyone is voting for his tribe, no one is sure of victory.



Previous to this election, Tinubu was unpopular in the north. Everywhere in the north was Atiku.

So I am happy that a southerner has won in an election which also fielded a popular northerner.

This has taught the north a bitter lesson. They will stop being so arrogant.

Many Northerners celebrated PMB's victory too much and later regretted it. Northerners are mostly conservative people who draw their reasons and actions from scripture, and in Islam the best way to praise God isn't through the foolish celebration demonstrated in previous elections victories and many scholars encourage that henceforth when a winner is declared people should pray that the winner be the best for us unlike how we saw Buhari as messiah; this statement is very popular this election in the North. (you can verify this in most SM pages).
I pray deligently for the victory of Tinubu and this was spiritual and nobody knows but God and this is the case with many voters.

It's so bad ...we build road , provide electricity , water an security for ourselves reason vote turnout is always always low

For most tribe or Ethnic nations they are not so bothered about this but for Igbos it so bad to

When we try to change our leaders there's friends outside Igbo land help them rig themselves in ....see what happened in imo, how soludo rigged rural Anambra , what happened in Abia , what happened in Enugu ....reason Igbo leaders are not loyal to igbos but to those who put them into power

Thank heaven for obi sha things changing

You are shamelessly thanking God for the bad governance of the same failure like Obi. You people are disgrace to capacity and competence in governance. Sometimes I wonder how u shamelessly bring such a failed character with no any track record of good governance for us, so daft!
