El-Rufai, Atiku Amaechi on remvoving Tinubu in 2027
On Monday, January 27, former Governor El-Rufai was said to have slammed the APC, stating that the party had abandoned its founding principles and instead strengthened poor leadership.
El-Rufai, alongside Atiku and Amaechi, had commented on the growth of democracy in Nigeria at the conference, recommending that all opposition parties should unite and form a strong front against the ruling APC ahead of the 2027 general election.
The conference also maintained that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should allow new political parties to be registered as contained in the constitution.
The National Conference was organised by a group of civil society organisations, which included the National Peace Committee, the African Centre for Leadership, Strategy & Development, Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WfD), Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), and Peering Advocacy and Advancement Centre in Africa (PAACA).
Governor Sani speaks on Tinubu in 2027
Reacting to the recommendations of the opposition members, Governor Sani said the opposition could not match President Tinubu when it came to upholding the principle of democracy, adding that they were only gathering together to be in power and not in the interest of Nigerians.
“Most of these politicians that came out and say they are coming as a coalition, they are politicians that were in government only less than two years ago. What did they do when they were in government? They were only fighting for power, not because they could do anything better."
