Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai has declared that he, along with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and other opposition heavyweights, has the political strength to defeat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.
Speaking on a Channels Television programme on Sunday, El-Rufai said his insider knowledge of the APC’s formation gives him a unique advantage in challenging the ruling party.
We formed the APC; we know where the dead body is buried. Some of them, like Atiku, know where the PDP’s dead body is buried,” he said. “Together, we can face APC. We don’t need outsiders to challenge them.”
The former governor criticised the Tinubu administration, alleging worsening economic hardship and declining security since the president assumed office.
Reports indicate that El-Rufai, Atiku, former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi and other prominent figures have thrown their support behind the African Democratic Congress (ADC), forming a united opposition coalition aimed at unseating the APC in 2027.
