AFRIQUECAN: FORMER Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai on Tuesday visited ex-military Head of State, Yakubu Gowon.
Tuesday’s visit by El- Rufai to Gowon’s Abuja residence has further fueled speculations that the one-time FCT Minister is planning to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress – APC.
The meeting comes shortly after the APC chieftain met with leaders of the Social Democratic Party – SDP, for the second time.
El-Rufai was pictured at the Abuja residence of Senator Abubakar Gada, along with SDP chairman Shehu Musa Gabam and other party leaders.
Also reported to be present at the meeting were Senator Teslim Folarin, APC, gubernatorial candidate for Oyo State in the 2023 general elections, and Senator Nazif Suleiman, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from Bauchi State.
The meeting at Gada’s home in Abuja on Sunday night came after El-Rufai hosted a Ramadan iftar at his Abuja residence.
Those at the Ramadan iftar include the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, Shehu Musa Gabam, and others.
El-Rufai also visited Gabam at the SDP secretariat
