Malam Nasir El-Rufai has asked “adversaries” not to lose sleep over the recent visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Some political commentators had said the visit part of moves by the opposition to have a united front against the current government in the forthcoming general elections.
But El-Rufa’i, who recently dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for Social Democratic Party (SDP), said the visit was not political.
In a post on X, El-Rufa’i said, “We joined over faithful for Jumaat prayers at the Yahaya Road Mosque and had a sumptuous lunch at the Buhari Residence,” he wrote.
“By the way, our adversaries should not lose any sleep. It is not about politics. It is about unity and brotherhood. And since we are all politically irrelevant, we just prayed and enjoyed lunch with our mentor.”
Days before the visit, governors elected under the APC platform visited Buhari.
