BIG TROUBLE For Tinubu As El- Rufai Takes Unexpected Steps Against Him Ahead Of 2027; SEE What He Did
Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El- Rufai, has called for a renewed political alliance between the North and the South- South regions in Nigeria, emphasizing that such a partnership is crucial to addressing the nation’ s current challenges. Speaking during a visit to the family of the late Edwin Clark, a revered Niger Delta statesman who passed away on February 17, El- Rufai underscored the historical ties between the two regions and urged a return to this collaboration.
El- Rufai highlighted the significance of the relationship that existed between the North and the South- South in the decades following Nigeria’ s independence. He noted that during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, these regions worked closely together to shape the country’ s political landscape. ” We must revisit this alliance, ” he said. ” It’ s time to save Nigeria, and we need a collective effort to do so. ”
His remarks come at a time when discussions about coalition- building are gaining momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections. Reports suggest that opposition leaders are holding strategic meetings to explore potential alliances. In this context, El- Rufai’ s call for unity takes on added significance as a means of fostering stability and progress in the nation.
During his visit to honor Edwin Clark, El- Rufai was joined by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. El- Rufai praised Atiku for his pivotal role in driving economic reforms during President Olusegun Obasanjo’ s administration from 1999 to 2007. This period saw significant strides in modernizing Nigeria’ s economy, which El- Rufai credited to Atiku’ s leadership.
In recent weeks, El- Rufai has engaged in meetings with key opposition figures, sparking speculation about his future political ambitions. While he has not explicitly declared his intentions, his advocacy for regional cooperation suggests a commitment to national unity and reform. By urging the North and South- South to unite, El- Rufai is positioning himself as a voice for reconciliation and strategic partnership in an increasingly polarized political environment.
The former governor’ s appeal resonates with many Nigerians who believe that cross- regional collaboration could provide a pathway to resolving some of the country’ s most pressing issues. As Nigeria grapples with economic instability, security threats, and social divisions, El- Rufai’ s vision of a united front offers hope for a brighter future. His message serves as a reminder that the strength of the nation lies in its diversity and the ability of its people to work together toward common goals.
