El-Rufai Meets PDP Kaduna Exco, Top Clerics—What’s Brewing?

By Mohammed Bello Doka

In a surprising political development, former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, met with key figures from the opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna today. Among those present were Hajiya Naja’atu Muhammad, a notable PDP executive member, and Mallam Bashir Saidu, alongside several respected clerics.

The closed-door meeting, which took place in Kaduna, has sparked speculations about its purpose, especially given the political landscape of the state. While details remain scarce, sources suggest that discussions may have revolved around political realignments, reconciliation efforts, or pressing state matters requiring bipartisan cooperation.

Observers are keenly watching to see whether this meeting signals a shift in alliances or a strategic move by El-Rufai ahead of the 2027 elections. Could this be a new chapter in Kaduna’s political dynamics, or just a routine consultation? Time will tell.
