The National Media Director of ADC Voice Worldwide, Abdulhadi Adam, has accused Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of working for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, citing a series of private meetings between both men since 2023.
Adam made the claim in a statement released on Monday, where he said Kwankwaso had met Tinubu at least six times in closed-door meetings in different locations, including Paris and the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He insisted that the meetings were not made public and their details remain unknown.
The first meeting, according to Adam, took place in Paris on June 9, 2023, just days after Tinubu took office.
He said the meeting lasted about four hours. He also listed another visit on March 5, 2024, at Aso Rock, where he noted that “no one knows what they discussed.”

Adam said both men met again on July 8, 2025, and later in December 2025, in what he described as “private meetings with no public record of discussion.”
He said that after the defection of Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, Kwankwaso returned to Aso Rock in early 2026 to meet Tinubu again.
He further claimed that on April 28, 2026, Kwankwaso joined Bala Mohammed and Seyi Makinde in another closed-door meeting with the president. Adam argued that these repeated meetings raise concerns.
In his words, “Believe it or not, Kwankwaso is working for Tinubu.”
He questioned why such private engagements were taking place without public disclosure.
He also compared Kwankwaso’s political strength with that of Peter Obi. Adam noted that Obi won over six million votes in the 2023 election, while Kwankwaso secured about 1.5 million votes.
He said, “Logically, Peter Obi should be the one Tinubu is pursuing politically — not Kwankwaso.”
Adam maintained that Tinubu had not held similar private meetings with Obi. He suggested that this could be because Obi may not be easily influenced.
He also raised concerns about the political impact of Kwankwaso’s actions in the North. He said the region faces poverty, insecurity, and poor development, yet accused Kwankwaso of focusing on personal ambition.
“Despite all this, he appears to be prioritizing personal ambition over both regional and national interests,” Adam stated.
These claims by Adam have prompted arguments among Nigerians, as some requested proof to establish them.
