El-Rufai’s Bold Remarks on Buhari Visit Amidst Controversy
Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has addressed speculations surrounding his recent visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari, urging critics not to “lose sleep” over the meeting. El-Rufai emphasized that the gathering was not politically motivated but centered on unity and brotherhood.
On Friday, April 11, 2025, El-Rufai joined former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Achike Udenwa (Imo), and Gabriel Suswam (Benue) in visiting Buhari at his Kaduna residence. The delegation participated in Jumaat prayers at the Yahaya Road Mosque, followed by a lunch with the former president.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, El-Rufai stated:
“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.”
This visit comes shortly after El-Rufai’s defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), amid discussions of forming a coalition to challenge the APC in the 2027 elections.
