Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has shed light on the recent visit by prominent political figures to former President Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as a simple post-Sallah courtesy call.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

El-Rufai stated that the visit had no political undertones but was instead rooted in a spirit of brotherhood and unity. The delegation, which included notable figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Achike Udenwa (Imo), and Gabriel Suswam (Benue), joined Buhari for the Friday Jumaat prayers in Kaduna and later shared a meal with him.

Sharing details of the visit on his (formerly Twitter) account, El-Rufai emphasized the informal nature of the gathering. “Former VP Atiku Abubakar, former Governors Tambuwal, Udenwa, Suswam, and I were in Kaduna for post-Sallah courtesies to former President Muhammadu Buhari. We joined faithful for Jumaat prayers at the Yahaya Road Mosque and enjoyed a delightful lunch at his residence,” he wrote.

Taking a subtle jab at critics and political speculators, El-Rufai added, “Our adversaries need not worry. This was not a political meeting. It was a gathering grounded in unity and brotherhood. Since we’re all considered politically irrelevant, we simply prayed and shared a meal with our mentor.”

Similarly, Atiku Abubakar shared a post confirming the visit, reiterating that it was part of his obligation to return home to Adamawa for the Sallah festivities. He noted that his time with Buhari was enjoyable and light-hearted, even saying the former President had him laughing so hard, it hurt.

The visit drew attention due to the high-profile presence of opposition figures, including Isa Pantami, the former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, who also joined the gathering.

Despite political undertones inferred by observers, those involved have maintained that the meeting was a friendly gesture celebrating the end of Ramadan and reaffirming bonds with their former leader.
