Former Governor of Kaduna State Nasir El-Rufai has said that it is not possible for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be re-elected in 2027.
The Social Democratic Party, SDP chieftain made this known
in an interview shared on X, stating that anybody who thinks otherwise does not
live in Nigeria.
According to El-Rufai, Nigerians have lost faith in the All
Progressives Congress, APC, and the president, and would have no interest in
voting for them in the coming general election.
This is despite assurances from the Tinubu administration
that Nigerians’ sufferings would soon be over.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation,
Mohammed Idris, spoke confidently during an interview on Channels Television on
Wednesday, providing a summary of what the Tinubu government has done thus far
to set the economy on the right path.
El-Rufai said, “Anybody that thinks it is possible for
President Bola Tinubu to get re-elected is living in another country, not
Nigeria. It is impossible for Bola Tinubu to get re-elected.”
The former governor and political ally of President Bola
Tinubu stated that there is no pathway for the former Lagos State governor.
He said that even the weakest opposition would defeat Tinubu
because Nigerians are unhappy with APC and the policies of the current
administration.
“I don’t see a pathway for him,” he said.
El-Rufai maintained that those defecting to the ruling party
do not matter, insisting that the real target of SDP and its emerging coalition
are the voters.
“It is greedy and hungry politicians and those that are
looking for money, contract, appointment, office that are defecting,” he added.
“The other class of those defecting are those that know that
the EFCC or ICPC can intimidate them, because they know what they have done if
they have done what is not quite right.
“And this is what I think the SDP and the coalition of
political parties or grouping that we are working with is targeting. We believe
that the 2027 elections will be between the APC and Nigerians.”
El-Rufai, who supported the election of Bola Tinubu in 2023,
is now a member of SDP and is fronting a coalition against the current
administration.
El-Rufai, alongside the likes of former Governor of Rivers
State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, among
others, are leading the coalition to remove President Bola Tinubu through the
ballot in 2027.
