Former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, on Monday, paid a goodwill visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari at his ciuntryhome in Daura, Katsina State.
Former Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, made this known via his social media network.
Shehu said, “This afternoon, I had the privilege of being with the former President, Muhammadu Buhari, as he received my old schoolmate, Nasir El-Rufa’i, who came on a goodwill visit in Daura. The former President had a joyous moment with the visiting former Governor,” he posted.
The meeting was coming amidst speculation about el-Rufai’s political future following his alleged withdrawal from consideration for a ministerial appointment in President Bola Tinubu’s government.
This withdrawal was reportedly due to concerns raised by the Department of State Services (DSS) during the clearance process before a Tinubu’s ally at the top of the process as Senate President, Mr. Godswill Akpabio.
Meanwhile, El-Rufai also visited the Governor of Katsina State, Mallam Dikko Umaru Radda, in the company of Mallam Garba Shehu at the Katsina State Government.
During the visit, Governor Radda spoke highly of Mallam Nasir el-Rufai for his remarkable stride and developmental policies that made Kaduna State one of the leading economies in the country.
Mallam el-Rufai, during the visit, congratulated the governor on his swearing-in as the Governor of the state and applauded his impressive start in the office.
According to him, the Governor has started on the right path and urged him to sustain the tempo for the benefit of the people of Katsina State.
