According to Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, President Bola Tinubu’s Senior Special Advisor on Print Media, his principal’s reunion with Rabiu Kwankwaso, the New Nigeria Peoples Party’s (NNPP) 2023 presidential candidate, is acceptable.

When he appeared on Channels Television’s “The Morning Brief” on Monday, Abdulaziz made this statement in response to the recent meeting between Tinubu and Kwankwaso.

“Politicians talk; it’s not a sin talking across lines. So, the President or friends of the President talking to Kwankwaso or the other way round should not be seen as anything strange or looked at with disdain or any suspicion. After all, it’s politics and people align, re-align and shape their political positions,” he said.

He emphasized that their recent encounter should not raise any suspicions, stating that the two have a more than three-decade-old friendship as senators and governors.

He added, “There is nothing strange about Kwankwaso talking to the APC or the president or the president talking to him. After all, there is a very longstanding relationship between the two.”

Tinubu has been in politics for a very long time, Abdulaziz said, pointing out that both men were elected to the National Assembly during the disastrous 1993 transition.

“Also, both of them were elected governors in 1999. So, they have had this long political association that you wouldn’t see anything strange if they are now closing ranks and reuniting under any arrangement,” the presidential aide added.
