Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has insisted that President Bola Tinubu can’t be reelected in 2027.
El-Rufai said nobody would vote for Tinubu in 2027, considering the current economic and political situation in Nigeria.
He spoke in an interview on the Social Democratic Party, SDP, national updates, and the video was posted by an online user, @chude.
According to El-Rufai: “Anybody that thinks it is possible for President Bola Tinubu to get re-elected is living in another country, not Nigeria. It is impossible for Bola Tinubu to get re-elected. I don’t see a pathway for him, no matter how disorganised the opposition is. Who will vote for him? But that’s my own opinion.”
This comes as the All Progressives Congress, APC, leadership and that of the National Assembly had passed a vote of confidence on Tinubu.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, had expressed confidence that Tinubu would be reelected because he is the sole candidate of the party.
In a similar vein, the APC governors had endorsed Tinubu as its presidential candidate during the party’s summit in Abuja.
A group under the aegis of the PDP Frontiers for Change and Progress, has slammed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, saying he is the real betrayer and architect of the crisis bedeviling the party.
The group urged the minister to honourably leave PDP instead of staying behind to cause confusion, accusing him of standing truth in the head and playing to the gallery.
The group was reacting to Wike’s allegation that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, and his Enugu State counterpart, Peter Mbah, were betrayers and the architects of the party’s protracted crisis.
The Eastern Updates reports that Wike had in a strong-worded statement on Sunday, announced his pullout from all ‘gentleman agreements’ on how to resolve the party’s leadership tussles, vowing to fight to finish.
