El-Rufai’s meeting with the two prominent figures comes just days after his visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari in Kaduna.

His presence in Lagos has sparked fresh speculation about his political future and potential strategic alliances ahead of the 2027 elections.

Aregbesola, a former two-term Osun State Governor, recently left the All Progressives Congress (APC) following a prolonged internal crisis in the party’s Osun State chapter.

Bakare, on the other hand, is a renowned political voice and a former APC presidential aspirant.
