In a politically significant move, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, along with members of the APC National Working Committee (NWC), paid a visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari at his Kaduna residence.
This visit, which occurred on Friday, came just a few hours after a high-level delegation of opposition leaders met with the former president.
Opposition Leaders’ Early Visit Sparks Conversation
Earlier on the same day, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar led a prominent delegation to Buhari’s home. Notable among those present were:
- Nasir El-Rufai, former Kaduna State governor
- Aminu Tambuwal, former Sokoto State governor
- Isa Pantami, former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy
After the opposition’s meeting, El-Rufai told journalists that their visit was not politically motivated, stating:
“There’s no reason for adversaries to lose sleep. This visit is purely non-political.”
Outcome of APC’s Meeting With Buhari Still Undisclosed
As of the time this report was published, no official statement has been released regarding the outcome or purpose of the APC NWC’s visit. This silence has fueled further public interest in the motive behind both meetings.
Sallah Greetings From APC Governors Preceded These Visits
Just days before the latest meetings, a delegation of APC governors, led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, also visited Buhari. Uzodimma, who chairs the Progressives Governors’ Forum, stated their mission was to offer Sallah greetings and celebrate Buhari’s completion of the Ramadan fast.

Concerns Over CPC’s Role in APC’s Future
There has been ongoing speculation about the possible exit of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) faction from the APC. The CPC, one of the original four parties that merged to form the APC in 2013, is significant due to Buhari’s roots in the party.
However, the former president has been firm in his commitment to the APC, publicly stating that he has no intentions of leaving the party, despite internal tensions.
Why This Matters for Nigerian Politics
The timing of these high-profile visits — coming from both ruling and opposition figures — underscores Buhari’s continued influence in national politics even after leaving office. Whether symbolic or strategic, such gestures suggest that political alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections might already be in motion.
