Former governor of Kaduna State,, Nasir el-Rufai, has said “we may not have a country” if the All Progressives Congress (APC) is allowed to win the 2027 elections.
Speaking in Sokoto during a grassroots mobilisation campaign for the opposition coalition, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), El-Rufair said he pitched tent with the coalition to ensure the APC is voted out of power.
El-Rufai, a former APC chieftain, said, “I’m not in politics to get anything for myself. I’m in politics to serve,” he said.
“When the government does not serve the people, it is my duty as a senior citizen to come out and condemn it and take steps to reverse the situation.
“That is why we come together as people opposed to the policies of this government to form the coalition, which has resulted in the adoption of ADC.
“We are in Sokoto to begin the process of mobilising Nigerians against the APC government anywhere and the federal government in Abuja.
“I believe that if we allow this party and the government to continue for a second term in office, what remains of Nigeria’s social capital will be destroyed, and we may not have a country at all. This is a fight for our lives.”
