Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has warned that Nigeria’s existence may be at stake if All Progressives Congress (APC) secures another term in the 2027 general elections.
Gatekeepers News reports that speaking on Saturday in Sokoto at a grassroots mobilisation event for the opposition coalition under African Democratic Congress (ADC), El-Rufai declared his commitment to removing the APC from power.
The former Governor said he joined the opposition coalition to rally Nigerians against what he described as a failing government.
He said, “I’m not in politics to get anything for myself. I’m in politics to serve.” When the government does not serve the people, it is my duty as a senior citizen to come out and condemn it and take steps to reverse the situation.”
El-Rufai explained that the coalition’s adoption of the ADC as its platform reflects a collective resolve to challenge the APC and the federal government.
He said, “We are in Sokoto to begin the process of mobilising Nigerians against the APC government anywhere and the federal government in Abuja.”
“I believe that if we allow this party and the government to continue for a second term in office, what remains of Nigeria’s social capital will be destroyed, and we may not have a country at all. This is a fight for our lives.”
Recall that SDP recently expelled El-Rufai and issued a 30-year ban, citing document forgery and other irregularities.
