Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has addressed speculations surrounding his recent visit to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, urging his political opponents not to worry. He noted that the meeting was not related to any political agenda but was simply an opportunity for fellowship.
El-Rufai was part of a delegation led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, which paid a visit to Buhari at his residence in Kaduna. This visit sparked rumors, with many speculating that the opposition group might be seeking to unite against the current government ahead of the upcoming elections.
However, El-Rufai, who recently left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP), was quick to clarify that the purpose of the visit was not political. In a post shared on X, he explained the nature of the visit, stating, “We joined other faithful for Jumaat prayers at the Yahaya Road Mosque and had a sumptuous lunch at the Buhari Residence.”
The former governor further reassured his critics, saying, “By the way, our adversaries should not lose any sleep. It is not about politics. It is about unity and brotherhood. And since we are all politically irrelevant, we just prayed and enjoyed lunch with our mentor.”
