A Northern group, Arewa Progressive Forum for Good Governance (APFGG), has declared that the son of former Kaduna State Governor, Bashir el-Rufai and his fellow co-travelers cannot stop Northerners from re-electing President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Bashir el-Rufai, via a post on his Social Media handle, predicted that Tinubu could be voted out of office in 2027 for ”non-performance”.
In a statement signed by Malam Ibrahim Musa Bichi, the Chairman of APFGG, the group described Bashir el-Rufai as ‘disrespectful and mannerless’.
“The boy is simply speaking the voice of his father.
“Those who understand politics know that Tinubu has built a political structure over the years that is helping him to move Nigeria forward in the right direction. And we don’t see reasons to fight an administration that is determined to make the country a better place.
“We want the likes of Bashir el-Rufai to know that the real voters within the North will support Tinubu, because they are fully aware of the President’s efforts via his Renewed Hope Agenda to tackle the challenges of insecurity and economic hardship caused by previous administrations,” the group claimed.
It asked, “If your father has the capacity and popularity, why hide under former Rivers State Governor, Mr Rotimi Amaechi and not personally contest the highly coveted seat of President in 2023.
“We are challenging el-Rufai to pick a presidential ticket and contest against Tinubu and see who the North will vote for.”
