El-Rufai, Ariku Amaechi on Remvoving Tinubu in 2027
On Monday, January 27, former Governor El-Rufai was said to have tackled the APC, saying the party has abandoned its founding principles and now strengthened poor leadership.

Governor Sani speaks on Tinubu in 2027
Reacting to the recommendations of the opposition members, Governor Sani said all the opposition cannot match President Tinubu when it comes to upholding the principle of democracy, adding that they were only gathering together to be in power and not in the interest of Nigerians.
The governor stated that all the opposition politicians were in power two years ago, and then asked what they did when they were in power. He stressed that they were fighting President Tinubu not because they had something better than what he was doing but because they were no longer in power.
Governor Sani's comment reads in part:
“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."
