Mallam Nasir El-rufai, former Kaduna State governor, on Friday, met with the national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, in Abuja amid rumours about Kwankwaso’s potential move to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The two politicians were seen together following Jumaat prayers at a mosque in Abuja.
El-Rufai, accompanied by his eldest son, Hon. Bello El-Rufai, exchanged greetings with the former Kano State governor.
Their meeting comes at a time when speculations are rife that Kwankwaso may have sealed an agreement with President Bola Tinubu, which could see him and his strong political following rejoin the ruling party.
Though, observers believe that Kwankwaso’s return to the ruling party would scale up Tinubu’s chances for re-election in the 2027 general polls.
