Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has called for collective efforts to sack the ruling All Progressives Congress in the 2027 general elections.

El-Rufai, who visited Sokoto State on Saturday as part of his grassroots mobilisation campaign to galvanise support for the opposition coalition, said the country’s prospects would be at risk if the APC was given another chance.

He described the APC as “incompetent and clannish,” warning that the party’s continued stay in power posed a threat to the country’s unity and progress.

Speaking at a series of meetings with political stakeholders, youth groups, and women from across the 23 local government areas of the state, El-Rufai emphasised the urgent need to rescue the nation from what he termed “poor governance and failed leadership.”

“I didn’t get into politics to enrich myself but to serve. 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 said.

The former governor noted that the opposition coalition’s adoption of the African Democratic Congress as its platform for 2027 was a strategic move to unite Nigerians under a credible alternative that prioritises national interest over personal ambitions.

He said, “If we allow this APC government another term, what remains of Nigeria’s social fabric may be destroyed. This is the fight of our lives.”

El-Rufai said the coalition would continue to mobilise Nigerians across the country to resist and vote out the ruling party.

Speaking at one of the events, a key opposition leader in Sokoto, Abubakar Gada, affirmed the coalition’s resolve to provide credible and competent leadership at both state and national levels.
