2027 elections: El-Rufai urges Atiku, Obi, Aregbesola to join SDP

Date:

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has called on key opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rauf Aregbesola, to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
This appeal follows El-Rufai’s resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) on March 10, citing a misalignment of values with the ruling party.

In an interview with BBC Hausa, he emphasized the need for opposition unity, rejecting the idea of a merger or forming a new party.

Meanwhile, the Presidency has dismissed concerns about the 2027 elections, stating that President Tinubu is currently focused on economic reforms and improving Nigerians’ welfare.

Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications emphasized achievements like rising foreign reserves, reduced inflation, and increased trade surplus.

El-Rufai, however, expressed disappointment in the Tinubu administration, stating that he had supported the president based on his record in Lagos but now feels let down.

He also clarified that his potential 2027 presidential ambition would depend on the party and the will of the people.
