FCT, Abuja – As Nigerians look forward to the 2027 election, Nasir El-Rufai, the immediate past governor of Kaduna state, visited Rauf Aregbesola, a former Osun governor and ex-minister, in Lagos on Sunday, March 9.
El-Rufai also visited Pastor Tunde Bakare, a former presidential hopeful, in the colossal southern state.
In the same vein, after the breaking of the Ramadan fast on Sunday, March 9, Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, received El-Rufai in Abuja.

“Our robust discussions were the dessert of the meal (breaking of fast).”
