A visit by immediate past Governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir El Rufai to the National Secretariat of the Social Democratic Party, (SDP) in Abuja on Wednesday, has elicited mixed social media reactions.
Some of those that reacted to the visit were of the view that it must be connected to the 2027 General elections.
El Rufai, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory,(FCT) was nominated as a Minister by President Bola Tinubu, but did not receive the blessing of the Senate, which hid behind security to abort his clearance.
He, thereafter, announced that he was travelling out of the country to further his studies and has since faded from public glare.
His surprise visit to the National Secretariat of the Social Democratic Party in Abuja, however, is fuelling speculations that he may be preparing for surprises ahead of the next General Elections.
An informed source hinted that the former Governor, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) came on a consultation visit to the National Chairman of the SDP, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam.
According to the source, Gabam described El-Rufai as a friend with high political pedigree, adding that Nigeria needed transformational leaders like him.
The source hinted that El-Rufai was received by the members of the National Working Committee, (NWC) of the party.
El-Rufai has been paying consultation visits to some notable politicians across political parties in recent times.
