I Regret Bringing Tinubu to Power, It’s Time to Remove Him, Fumes El-Rufai
Former Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has publicly expressed his regret over his role in bringing President Bola Tinubu to power, stating that he now feels compelled to “remove the evil Tinubu” from office. El-Rufai made this shocking declaration during a live appearance on Arise News Channel’s PrimeTime show on Monday evening, where he also announced distancing himself from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The former governor, who is reportedly a key promoter of the emerging All Democratic Alliance (ADA) coalition, cited the country’s worsening economic and security situation as reasons for his change of heart.
He claimed that 91% of Nigerians have lost faith in the APC and are now seeking alternative leaders who can put aside their differences and work towards fixing the country.
El-Rufai’s comments have sent shockwaves throughout the political landscape, with many interpreting his words as a call to action against the current administration.
The ADA coalition, which comprises individuals from various political and ideological backgrounds, is reportedly gaining momentum, with several political blocs expressing interest in joining the movement.
In a moment of rare self-awareness, El-Rufai cautioned Nigerians against blindly trusting his political choices, acknowledging that his past decisions have not always yielded positive results.
“Don’t trust what I say,” he warned. “It seems like I’m not good at picking political candidates. Check if the person I pick will be better than the previous person.”
As the country grapples with soaring inflation, insecurity, and economic hardship, El-Rufai’s remarks have ignited a fierce debate about the future of Nigerian politics.
The ADA coalition is expected to clarify its structure and leadership in the coming weeks, leaving many to wonder if this new movement will be the catalyst for change that Nigeria so desperately needs.
With his bold statement, El-Rufai has effectively thrown down the gauntlet, challenging the status quo and paving the way for a potentially seismic shift in Nigeria’s political landscape.
As the nation watches with bated breath, one thing is certain the road ahead will be marked by intense political maneuvering, and the fate of the Tinubu administration hangs precariously in the balance.
