Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai moves to create an opposition figures towards unseating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election has been dismissed by The Presidency and the ruling All Progressives Congress, on Monday.
The ex-governor's motive was said to have been driven by “an inordinate ambition that is destined to fail” in his defection to the Social Democratic Party, SDP, noting that there wouldn't be any significant outcome.
According to Nasir El-Rufai, He stated, “I will focus on engaging with and persuading other opposition leaders and parties to join us and congregate under a unified democratic platform to challenge the APC in all elections and by-elections,”
He Furtherly expressed disappointment stating that over the past two years, the party had strayed from its progressive principles, efforts to also address internal issues privately and publicly, which he felt were ignored, leading to his decision to seek an alternative platform that aligns with his values.
“Therefore, at this point in my political journey, I have come to the conclusion that I must seek another political platform to pursue the progressive values I cherish, he said.
He added, “Without prejudice to this decision, as a member of the SDP, I will focus on engaging with and persuading other opposition leaders and parties to join us and congregate under a unified democratic platform to challenge the APC in all elections and bye-elections between now and 2027 by the grace of God
