Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has fueled speculation about a possible defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) after meeting key executives of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna on Saturday.
The meeting has intensified rumours of El-Rufaiās potential defection especially as tensions between the politician and stakeholders in the ruling party continue.
The meeting with PDP state executives comes just a day after El-Rufai was seen alongside the PDPās 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. The two politicians attended a condolence visit to the family of the late Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) leader, Chief Edwin Clark, in Abuja.
While speaking at the event, El-Rufai openly praised Atiku for his role in shaping Nigeriaās economic policies during the Obasanjo administration from 1999 to 2007.
El-Rufai, who served as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory during that period, said, āNobody gives Alhaji Atiku Abubakar the credit for economic policy makingā¦ many of the things we did, we did it under his leadershipā¦ but people focus on the negatives.ā
Further fueling the rumours, El-Rufai and Atiku were also spotted together earlier on Friday, heading to the mosque for prayers in Abuja.
Political commentators have said the newfound relationship between El-Rufai and opposition stakeholders could signal the beginning of a political alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections.
