In a show of solidarity that cut across political lines, Rotimi Amaechi, presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, joined family and friends to console former Kaduna State governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai over the passing of his mother, Hajiya Umma.
Amaechi’s visit underscored a moment of unity in grief, as political differences gave way to compassion and shared humanity.
The late matriarch, widely respected for her humility and strong values, has continued to draw tributes from across Nigeria’s political landscape, with leaders rallying around the El-Rufai family in their moment of loss.
Observers say the condolence visit highlights the enduring bonds among Nigeria’s political elite, even amid shifting alliances and rising tensions ahead of future elections.
