EKO HOT BLOG reports that as of the time of filing this report, details of the meeting had not been made public.
However, the visit has generated political interest amid speculation that the talks may be connected to early consultations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Kwankwaso has remained active in national politics following his role in the last presidential election, while Makinde is regarded as a key political figure with growing influence beyond Oyo State.
Observers note that meetings between prominent political leaders often precede strategic alliances, consultations or broader realignments within the political landscape.
Neither camp has issued an official statement outlining the purpose of the engagement.
The development comes at a time when political actors across party lines are intensifying consultations and positioning ahead of the next electoral cycle.
