Former Governor of Kaudna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai says his visit to former President, Muhammadu Buhari on Friday was not politically motivated.

DAILY POST reports that El-rufai, former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, former governors of Sokoto, Imo and Benue States, Aminu Tambuwal, Achike Udenwa and Gabriel Suswam respectively met with Buhari at his Kaduna residence on Friday.

Members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, have been making comments on the visit, linking it to the 2027 presidential election.


However, El-Rufai in a post on his X handle clarified that they “were in Kaduna for Post-Sallah courtesies to former President Muhammadu Buhari”.

“We joined the faithful for Jumaat prayers at the Yahaya Road Mosque and had a sumptuous lunch at the Buhari Residence”.

Responding to some comments from the APC bigwigs, the former governor said “our adversaries should not lose any sleep. It is not about politics”.

El-Rufai revealed that the visit “is about unity and brotherhood. And since we are all politically irrelevant, we just prayed and enjoyed lunch with our mentor”.
