Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, has explained why Atiku Abubakar appointed Nasir El-Rufai to his 2027 campaign council. According to Punch Nigeria, Momodu said the appointment was intended to honour sacrifices made by El-Rufai. The report identifies El-Rufai as a former governor, but the supplied material does not describe the sacrifices cited by Momodu.
The appointment places El-Rufai on Atiku’s campaign council for the 2027 election, although the source does not provide the council’s membership or outline its responsibilities. The material also does not include comments from Atiku, El-Rufai or other members of the ADC on the decision. It gives no information about when the appointment was announced or whether El-Rufai had accepted a particular role.
Momodu’s explanation, as summarised by Punch Nigeria, was that the choice reflected recognition of El-Rufai’s contribution and sacrifices. No additional political reaction or details of the campaign’s plans were provided.
