According to El-Rufai, the country’s prospects would be at risk if the APC is given another chance.
Former Kaduna State Governor and one of the leading opposition coalition members, Nasir El-Rufai, has called on Nigerians to join forces to oust the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
According to El-Rufai, the country’s prospects would be at risk if the APC is given another chance.
“We are at a critical juncture in our nation’s history, and it’s imperative that we take collective action to rescue Nigeria from poor governance and failed leadership,” El-Rufai emphasised during a series of meetings with political stakeholders, youth groups, and women in Sokoto State on Saturday.
It was a part of his grassroots mobilisation campaign to galvanise support for the opposition coalition.
El-Rufai described the APC as “incompetent and clannish,” warning that the party’s continued stay in power poses a significant threat to Nigeria’s unity and progress.
“If we allow this APC government another term, what remains of Nigeria’s social fabric may be destroyed. This is the fight of our lives,” he declared.
The former governor stressed that his decision to join the opposition coalition was driven by a desire to serve the nation, not personal gain.
“I didn’t get into politics to enrich myself but to serve. And when a government ceases to serve the people, it is my duty as a senior citizen to not only speak out but take action to reverse the situation,” he said.
El-Rufai also highlighted the strategic importance of the opposition coalition’s adoption of the African Democratic Congress as its platform for 2027, describing it as a move to unite Nigerians under a credible alternative that prioritizes national interest over personal ambitions.
Abubakar Gada, a key opposition leader in Sokoto, reaffirmed the coalition’s commitment to providing credible and competent leadership at both state and national levels.
