Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 poll, met Obi in the company of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano state.
Other individuals at the meeting included Obi, Yunusa Tanko, and Sunusi Dawakin Tofa, Governor Yusuf’s spokesperson.
Legit reports that Obi met Kwankwaso at the Kano airport following his (Obi’s) trip to neighbouring Jigawa state.
The former Anambra state governor had on Monday, October 21, visited Dutse, Jigawa state, to commiserate with Governor Umar Namadi and the people of the state over the tragic petroleum tanker incident that killed over 180 people. Many of the victims were burnt beyond recognition.
Most of those who died have been buried in a mass ceremony.
Fuel tanker explosions and accidents are common in Nigeria – often caused by the poor state of roads and badly maintained vehicles.
Describing the incident as “a national tragedy”, Obi prayed for the departed souls. The LP chieftain also pledged to donate to the victims.
