Immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, during the weekend visited former vice president Atiku Abubakar, ex-Interior minister, Rauf Aregbesola and pastor-cum politician, Tunde Bakare.
The former Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister visited both Aregbesola and Pastor Bakare, founder of the Citadel Global Community Church (formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly) in Lagos, while the visit to Abubakar, the standard-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, was in Adamawa.
“After tonight’s Itfar (breaking of fast), I received in audience, former Governor of Kaduna State, @elrufai former Governor of Adamawa, Jibrilla Bindow and Musa Halilu, Dujima Adamawa. Our robust discussions were the dessert of the meal. -AA #RamadanKareem,” Abubakar shared on his X page.
El-Rufai, who served as governor on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has hinted at pitching his political tent elsewhere ahead of the 2027 presidential poll — after criticising the APC publicly.
The former Kaduna governor previously met with members of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to “strategise ahead of the 2027 elections.”
The APC in Osun State expelled former governor of the state, Aregbesola over anti-party activities in January, after the Omoluabi Progressives, Aregbesola’s political group quit the party.
Abubakar, a former vice-president and PDP chieftain, has spoken of building a coalition that would give the ruling APC a run for its money in the next presidential election.
