Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai recently visited immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State, fueling speculations about potential political maneuvers ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This visit follows a recent meeting between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Buhari, which occurred shortly after Atiku’s discussions with former Nigerian military presidents Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalam Abubakar in Minna, Niger State.
These series of high-profile visits have sparked rumours of a potential strategic alliance that transcends party lines, hinting at a possible reshaping of Nigeria’s political landscape in the run-up to the next general elections.
Observers suggest that these meetings signify efforts to forge alliances and consensus among key political figures, which could significantly influence the dynamics of the 2027 elections.
