As former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, continues to mobilise forces to battle President Bola Tinubu in 2027, a question as arisen concerning if he will be able to stir up Global Citadel Pastor, Tunde Bakare, back into the ring.
Bakare had competed in the All Progressives Congress primary in the last dispensation, though he failed to secure any vote.
He has, since receded to the background.
But El-Rufai would not let the sleeping dog lie as he has paid Bakare a visit in Lagos in Lagos.
This is as he also visited former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbsola.
The visit was disclosed by Muyiwa Adekeye, El-Rufai’s media adviser, in a tweet on Sunday.
“Malam Nasir @elrufai was in Lagos today to visit Ogbeni @raufaregbesola and Pastor Tunde Bakare,” Adekeye wrote.
El-Rufai’s meeting with both men is coming days after visiting former President Muhammadu Buhari in Kaduna.
The former Kaduna governor’s visit to Lagos has fueled fresh conversations about his political future and possible strategic alliances ahead of the 2027 elections.
Aregbesola, a former two-term governor of Osun State and a former ally of President Bola Tinubu recently left the All Progressives Congress after a protracted crisis within the party in Osun State.
Bakare, on the other hand, is a known political voice and a former presidential aspirant under the APC.
