El-Rufai warned that President Bola Tinubu may become
president for life if Nigerians fail to unite and remove him in 2027.

The key member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC,
spoke while receiving former Vice President Atiku Abubakar during a solidarity
visit yesterday evening.

Atiku had visited El-Rufai over his attack by APC-sponsored
thugs at the recent inauguration of the ADC in Kaduna State.

El-Rufai said: “It’s a disgrace for people to behave the way
they are behaving, it means all the years we were for democracy and NADECO was
all fake, a pretense, all the claims we are fighting for, true federalism is
all fake.

“This government is trying to centralize everything instead
of devolving powers to the lower levels but the some total of this is that we
are facing an evil of a large proportion in the history of this country that if
we don’t come together to end this Tinubu administration in 2027, Tinubu will
try to be our Paul Biya, he would be president for life, all the signs are
there, this is how Paul Biya started.

“You are our leader and you have experience in democratic
governance. When you and Obasanjo were in power, no man has been imprisoned
because he had a different political reason, even Buhari with his military
background never did that but here we are facing full fledge.”

The former governor also described Tinubu’s administration
as worse than any military regime in Nigeria.

“This is worse than any military regime we’ve ever had, your
call that we must unite is a healthy one. I think the people of Nigerians have
made up their mind that this government, APC must go,” he added.
