Nasir El-Rufai traveled to Lagos Sunday to meet with Rauf Aregbesola and Pastor Tunde Bakare. His media helper, Muyiwa Adekeye, shared this news on X, posting, "Malam Nasir @elrufai was in Lagos today to visit Ogbeni @raufaregbesola and Pastor Tunde Bakare." These fresh meetings happened right after El-Rufai stopped by former President Muhammadu Buhari's place in Kaduna earlier.
People have started talking about what these visits might mean for El-Rufai's plans. Many wonder if he wants to build new friendships before the 2027 elections. Aregbesola ran Osun State twice as governor and previously worked with President Bola Tinubu as a friend. He recently walked away from their political party, APC, because of big problems between members in Osun State.
Pastor Bakare stands out as an important political figure who once tried to become president through the APC party. The timing of these meetings raises questions about what El-Rufai plans next. His back-to-back visits with major political players suggest he might be creating new partnerships or strengthening old bonds before the next election cycle comes around.
These gatherings between former high-ranking officials happen during a time when political lines keep shifting across Nigeria. El-Rufai appears active despite leaving his position as Kaduna governor. His deliberate choice to connect with both Aregbesola and Bakare on the same day shows careful planning rather than random social calls. Many political watchers believe these moves signal something bigger brewing beneath the surface.
