Former Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has met with another chieftain of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), amid a defection allegation.
El-Rufai was pictured at the Abuja residence of Senator Abubakar Gada, along with SDP chairman Shehu Musa Gabam and other party leaders.
Also present were Senator Teslim Folarin, the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate for Oyo State in the 2023 general elections, and Senator Nazif Suleiman, a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from Bauchi State.
This meeting at Senator Gada’s home in Abuja was held on Sunday night, March 24, 2024.
The meeting comes shortly after El-Rufai hosted President Bola Tinubu’s camp in the APC led by the national security adviser, Nuhu Ribadu at his residence in Abuja on Tuesday, March 20.
The former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) also visited Gabam at the SDP secretariat.
While photos from these visits have sparked various reactions on social media, with many speculating about El-Rufai’s potential presidential bid in 2027, his media adviser, Muyiwa Adekeye, has denied any political motives behind the visits.
Adekeye stated that the speculations were merely an “unhealthy obsession with politics,” emphasizing that personal relationships can exist independently of political affiliations.
“A recent instance was when he visited former presidents late in 2023 to explain his Nigerian governance study book project covering each of their tenures, the speculators said it was about politics! That is why it is sometimes necessary to clarify matters lest the unwary be taken in,” he said.
