2027 Politics: El-Rufai Meets Kwankwaso in Abuja
Former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, met with Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), on Friday in Abuja, sparking fresh speculation about Kwankwaso’s possible return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The two influential politicians were seen together after attending Jumaat prayers at a mosque in the capital. El-Rufai was accompanied by his eldest son, Hon. Bello El-Rufai, during the visit, according to reports from *The Nation*.
Their meeting comes amid growing rumours that Kwankwaso has reached an understanding with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that could pave the way for his return to the APC, along with his supporters. Political observers believe that such a move would significantly strengthen Tinubu’s chances as he looks to secure re-election in the 2027 general elections.
