Large crowds gathered in Kaduna on Friday to welcome the former governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai.

This public reception follows a widely reported incident involving security agents at the airport on Thursday.

Supporters lined the streets in a show of solidarity, surrounding his motorcade as he moved through the city.

The atmosphere was charged with excitement as residents cheered the former governor’s return.

The massive turnout occurred as El-Rufai made his way to the mosque for the weekly Juma’at prayers. The crowd’s size caused a significant snarl in traffic along major routes.

A video of the event captured the enthusiastic scenes of supporters waving and chanting in support of the former leader. The footage has since gone viral, drawing various reactions across social media platforms.

Observers noted that the warm reception underscores El-Rufai’s enduring influence and popularity within the state. The gathering served as a strong political statement following his recent brief ordeal with authorities.
