Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, recently paid a visit to former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, at his private residence in Abuja.
This unexpected meeting has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation among political circles.
Fani-Kayode, who was a prominent spokesperson for President Bola Tinubu’s presidential campaign council, took to Twitter to announce the visit and share pictures of their encounter.
Describing El-Rufai as “an irrepressible force in Nigerian politics,” Fani-Kayode hinted at discussions on crucial national issues during their meeting.
The visit is significant for several reasons. Firstly, El-Rufai played a pivotal role in the 2023 presidential election and the victory of President Tinubu. However, his ministerial nomination was rejected by the Senate due to security concerns. This visit, therefore, holds symbolic importance, showcasing a rare public interaction between the two politicians.
Secondly, the timing of the meeting is noteworthy. It comes at a time when politicians are already maneuvering and strategizing for the 2027 general elections, despite the elected officials from the 2023 elections having barely completed a year in office.
This suggests that political alliances and permutations are already in motion, setting the stage for future political dynamics.
While the exact details of their discussion remain undisclosed, the meeting between El-Rufai and Fani-Kayode has undoubtedly stirred curiosity and speculation.
