El-Rufai Rooting For Atiku As ADC Presidential Candidate –APC

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The All-Progressives Congress, APC, says that former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, is trying to impose former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

The APC alleged that El-Rufai and his allies in the ADC are trying to undermine Nigeria’s power rotation arrangement by fronting for Atiku’s candidacy in 2027, irrespective of the presidency presently being held by the South.

The statement is coming after El-Rufai’s recent criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

It is worth recalling that El-Rufai, during a political meeting in Sokoto on Saturday, reportedly described the Tinubu-led administration as “incompetent and clannish”.

In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC slammed El-Rufai over his remark.

Morka stated that El-Rufai and his allies in the ADC are not bringing any credible alternative to the table.

According to the APC, the opposition figures don’t have any viable policy proposals and have rather made use of “headline attacks” against the government.

“El-Rufai and Atiku want to do to Nigeria what Atiku did to PDP. The El-Rufai and Atiku hijacked ADC constitute a clear and present threat to the unity, peace and progress of Nigeria,” Morka said.
