The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, on Saturday paid a condolence visit to former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, following the death of his mother.
Yilwatda visited El-Rufai at his Abuja residence to sympathise with him over the passing of Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, who died on Friday, March 27, 2026, in Cairo, Egypt, after a period of illness.
The visit is part of a stream of high-profile condolence calls by political figures who have thronged the former governor’s residence to pay their respects.
Among those who have earlier visited are Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umar Radda; former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar; former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi; former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami; and Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.
The condolence visits underscore the wide network of political associates and allies rallying around El-Rufai in his moment of bereavement.
