In what appears to be a significant political development, former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, met with former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, today in Abuja. The closed-door meeting, which took place at El-Rufai’s private residence, is already generating interest within political circles, particularly as Nigeria continues to witness quiet but strategic realignments among key northern political figures.
Although details of their conversation remain undisclosed, the presence of two high-profile political actors with strong influence in the North suggests that the meeting was more than a mere courtesy call. Both Malami and El-Rufai have held powerful positions under the previous administration and maintain substantial political networks within and beyond their home states.
Political observers see the visit as a possible signal of renewed engagement ahead of upcoming political contests and a reflection of ongoing efforts to shape the future direction of northern leadership within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). With growing tensions over national unity, security, and economic policy, such meetings may be laying the groundwork for a broader consensus among northern elites on how best to approach the 2027 elections.
As Nigeria’s political landscape continues to evolve, Abuja Network News will keep a close watch on these quiet but significant power moves that could shape the country’s next political chapter.
