Why El- Rufai cannot unseat Tinubu come 2027 – Presidency reveals | READ DETAILS
The presidency has waved off concerns that Nasir El-Rufai’s defection from the APC to SDP could be a threat to the second term ambition of president Bola Tinubu.
Trustbase News had reported that El-Rufai who is the immediate past governor of Kaduna state, and a founding member of the APC, announced his exit from the party on Monday, citing variation of values and ideology.
Reacting, DH Bwala, the Special Adviser to president Bola Tinubu on policy communication, said El-Rufai who is alleged to have interest in the 2027 presidency, cannot defeat Tinubu by “associating with sore losers”.
Bwala assured him that his “inordinate ambition is destined to fail.
Bwala wrote on his X handle;
Senior, @elrufai
I read the news today that you resigned from APC to join SDP. Well I have nothing against you because you exercised your constitutional right. However, the MOTIVE is what we would interrogate in the coming days and remind Nigerians that you are not a phenomenal that emerge like a clap of thunder out of a blue sky. We would intellectually remind you that associating with sore losers to unseat the incumbent is not an IDEOLOGY, neither is it PROGRESSIVISM; It is simply an inordinate AMBITION, that is destined to fail.
