Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has declared that his entrance into politics was driven by a desire to serve humanity, not for personal gain, as he called on Nigerians to vote out the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
El-Rufai made the statement during a youth mobilization event held by the opposition coalition in Sokoto State on Saturday. In a bold critique of his former party, he described the APC as “incompetent and clannish”, warning that its continued leadership poses a serious threat to Nigeria’s unity.
“I didn’t get into politics to enrich myself but to serve,” El-Rufai said. “And when a government ceases to serve the people, it is my duty as a senior citizen to not only speak out but take action to reverse the situation.”
He urged young Nigerians to rally behind the new opposition movement, which has adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform to challenge the ruling party.
“The APC has become a risk to national cohesion,” he added. “We cannot allow this level of dysfunction to continue.”
El-Rufai’s remarks have further ignited political tension ahead of the 2027 elections, as several prominent figures align with the growing opposition coalition seeking to unseat the ruling APC.
