President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday met behind closed doors with Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, a close associate of Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The meeting, which comes amid growing speculation over a potential defection of Kwankwaso and his loyalists to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), follows recent public criticisms of the Tinubu administration by the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) leader.

Jibrin, who represents the Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State and maintains longstanding ties with both Tinubu and Kwankwaso, briefed journalists after the meeting, noting that discussions centered on pressing national issues.

While he declined to confirm whether a move to the APC was imminent, Jibrin did not dismiss the possibility.

“I don’t think it’s time for that conversation,” he said. “But everything is open, and everything is a possibility. What matters most is the stability and unity of the country. When we get to the bridge, we’ll cross it.”

Responding to questions on whether the meeting was aimed at easing political tensions between Tinubu and Kwankwaso, Jibrin downplayed any rift, emphasizing that both leaders are experienced politicians dedicated to Nigeria’s development.

He said, “The President is a first-class politician. Likewise, the national leader of the NNPP is a seasoned political figure. I believe both are fully committed to peace, unity, and the prosperity of Nigeria.

“Regardless of recent statements, I don’t believe my presence at the Villa should be a source of concern.”

On whether Tinubu has lived up to northern expectations, especially in light of Kwankwaso’s criticisms, Jibrin remarked, “Every leader does his best. It depends on your perspective—whether you see the cup as half full or half empty.

“Ultimately, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Constructive criticism can enrich national discourse—and sometimes, it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.”
