Prominent Nigerian politicians, including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi, and APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, visited former Kaduna Governor Nasir el-Rufai at his Kaduna residence on Saturday, March 28, 2026, to offer condolences over the death of his mother, Hajiya Umma.
Hajiya Umma passed away in Egypt on Friday. El-Rufai, who was in custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) at the time, received compassionate release to attend her burial rites.
The condolence visits drew other heavyweights, such as Katsina Governor Dikko Radda, former Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal, and ex-Attorney General Abubakar Malami.
The gestures come amid ongoing controversy over el-Rufai’s release without a court order, fueling debates on procedural lapses.
