El-Rufai: Tinubu Government Worse Than Military Regimes
Former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has described the administration of President Bola Tinubu as “a disgrace to democratic ideals” and worse than any military regime Nigeria has ever experienced.
El-Rufai made the remarks when he hosted former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who paid him a solidarity visit at the weekend following the violent disruption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) inauguration in Kaduna.
He accused the Tinubu government of centralising power instead of deepening federalism, warning that the country was on a path similar to Cameroon under President Paul Biya, who has remained in power since 1982.
“The sum total of this is that we are facing an evil of such a large proportion… if we don’t come together and end this Tinubu administration by 2027, Tinubu will try to be our Paul Biya,” El-Rufai said.
The former governor also praised Atiku’s past democratic struggles, saying Nigerians were counting on his leadership to rally the opposition.
Atiku, in his response, urged opposition leaders to unite and remain focused on ensuring Tinubu’s ouster in 2027 “through the ballot box.”
