Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday said he does not have any ambition but wants to help unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
According to him, he helped Tinubu to emerge as president and wants to be instrumental in his defeat in 2027.
He said Nigerians are looking for a credible alternative to the current government and that Tinubu’s administration has a 91 per cent disapproval rate.
“There is 91 percent disapproval of this administration,” he said during an interview on Arise TV’s Prime Time programme on Monday.
“The worst in history, but Nigerians are looking for a credible option.
“They want to see people coming together, putting aside their differences and ambition to remove this failure of a government.
“I have no ambition; I just feel like having contributed to bringing about this tragedy to Nigeria by contributing to the emergence of Bola Tinubu as president, I should, in my last lap, contribute to removing this evil that I believe will destroy Nigeria if left unchecked.”
He said the President never liked him and they don’t get along in the All Progressive Congress, but he was closer to former Governor of Osun State, Bisi Akande.
“Bola Tinubu never really liked me, but we never really got along,” he added. “In the party, I was Buhari’s boy. The person I got along with was Baba Akande.”
