Kwankwaso’s media aide, Saifullahi Hassan, confirmed the visit in a statement, describing the meeting as an opportunity for warm exchanges between the political leaders.
However, Hassan did not disclose the details of the discussions held during the closed door meeting.
The visit has attracted attention due to the longstanding political relationship between Obasanjo and Kwankwaso.
