Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai, has warned that Nigeria’s future is at serious risk if the All Progressives Congress (APC) wins the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking in Sokoto during a grassroots mobilisation event for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), el-Rufai said he joined the opposition coalition to help remove the APC from power, describing the ruling party as “incompetent” and dangerous to the country’s survival.
“We may not have a country if the APC continues beyond 2027,” he said. “This is a fight for our lives.”
A founding member of the APC, el-Rufai officially left the party in March 2025 for the Social Democratic Party (SDP), following the rejection of his ministerial nomination by the national assembly due to alleged security concerns.
However, the SDP later expelled him and banned him for 30 years over alleged document forgery.
He has since joined the ADC, where he now plays a major role in mobilising Nigerians against the APC-led government.
