Before the general election, Kwankwaso was invited, along with other candidates, to the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, UK, to discuss his vision for Nigeria.

On March 26, 2024, Mustapha Kwankwaso‘s nomination as commissioner by Kano State Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf stirred controversy due to his familial ties to Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor of the state. While some critics argue that this nomination could result in conflicts of interest and potential favouritism, others defend the decision as a means to leverage the expertise and experience of the younger Kwankwaso in governance.
