2027: APC Chieftain Ridicules Atiku-El-Rufai Coalition, Predicts Crushing Defeat

Published

on

A senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ayekooto Akindele, has ridiculed the emerging political alliance between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai. Akindele claimed that even if the duo were to align with infamous terrorists like Abubakar Shekau and Bello Turji, they would still face a resounding defeat in the 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a strongly worded Facebook post, Akindele stressed that both Atiku and El-Rufai should not be entrusted with power when it eventually returns to the North, presumably in 2031. He maintained that leadership at that time should come from a candidate who represents the collective interest of all Nigerians.

He criticized the structure and credibility of the newly proposed opposition coalition, stating that neither Atiku, El-Rufai, nor Peter Obi has full control over any political party. Drawing comparisons to the 2015 APC merger, Akindele explained that real coalitions require strong party leadership, as was evident when Bola Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari unified their respective parties—ACN and CPC—before unseating the then ruling party.

“Let Atiku and El-Rufai even join forces with Shekau and Turji—they will still lose badly in 2027,” Akindele wrote.

He argued that unlike Goodluck Jonathan, who completed the tenure of Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and sought re-election, Tinubu is currently serving his own term without succession complications. Therefore, Akindele concluded, opposition figures should not expect history to repeat itself in their favor.

This statement comes on the heels of recent declarations by Atiku Abubakar, who revealed plans to form a grand opposition coalition aimed at defeating President Bola Tinubu in the next election. The coalition reportedly includes influential politicians such as Peter Obi and Nasir El-Rufai, and may see integration with the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

El-Rufai’s move to the SDP has been linked to his concerns over what he describes as diminishing internal democracy within the APC under Tinubu’s leadership. Similarly, former SDP presidential candidate Adewale Adebayo disclosed that conversations are underway between Atiku, Obi, and the SDP, focusing on a possible alignment.

Adebayo expressed optimism that if these major players join the SDP and uphold its values, they could mount a formidable challenge against the ruling APC and potentially end President Tinubu’s political dominance.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
