APC Accuses El-Rufai of Fueling Northern Revolt Against Tinubu

By Milcah Tanimu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai of fueling northern opposition against President Bola Tinubu. According to APC National Secretary Ajibola Basiru, El-Rufai’s actions stem from his failed bid for a ministerial appointment, which was rejected in 2023 over “security concerns.” Reports suggest he is now working with opposition leaders, including Atiku Abubakar, ahead of the 2027 elections.

El-Rufai’s recent political maneuvers, including meetings with the Kaduna State PDP leadership and former APC National Chairman Abdullahi Adamu, have fueled speculation of a possible realignment. Additionally, his warning that Tinubu could face a fate similar to Goodluck Jonathan’s if northern grievances persist has intensified political tensions.

In response, APC dismissed El-Rufai’s stance, labeling him an “overrated ethnic champion” who prioritizes sectional politics over national unity. Basiru reiterated that no individual has a birthright to government appointments and affirmed that the APC remains united in delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda.
