Governor Uba Sani and former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai appeared to settle their differences on Sunday during the burial of El-Rufai’s mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, in Abuja.
The reconciliation took place at the National Mosque during
the funeral prayer, where former minister Isa Ali Pantami intervened to mediate
between the two leaders.
Speaking at the moment, Pantami urged both men to set aside
their differences.
“Your Excellency, forgive one another,” he said.
After a brief discussion with them, Pantami announced that
peace had been restored.
“They have forgiven each other,” he declared.
Uba Sani and El-Rufai, who once worked closely together in
Kaduna, have been embroiled in a prolonged political dispute.
The rift deepened after El-Rufai left his former political
platform and moved across parties in recent times.
Despite their differences, the burial brought together
several political figures, including Nuhu Ribadu and Bola Tinubu, who joined
others to sympathise with El-Rufai.
Hajiya Umma El-Rufai was laid to rest on Sunday, with the
gathering also serving as a moment that reunited key political figures who had
long been at odds.
