Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna, has urged Nigerians to unite and vote out the President Bola Tinubu administration in the 2027 general election.

El-Rufai, who visited Sokoto on Saturday as part of a grassroots mobilisation tour, warned that another term for the All Progressives Congress (APC) would endanger the country’s future.

He described the ruling party as “incompetent and clannish,” adding that its continued stay in power poses a serious threat to Nigeria’s unity and progress.

At meetings with political stakeholders, youth groups, and women from all 23 local government areas of the state, El-Rufai stated that the country must be rescued from “poor governance and failed leadership.”

His words: “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 the opposition coalition’s adoption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform for 2027 was a deliberate move to unite Nigerians under a credible alternative that prioritises the national interest.

“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 said.

El-Rufai said the coalition would intensify mobilisation efforts nationwide to ensure the APC is removed from power in 2027.
