Nasir El-Rufai Unveils His Grave Concerns for Nigeria: A Cry for Change
El-Rufai Declares He'll Act Against His Father if Father Jeopardizes Nigeria's Interests
Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, opens up about his growing discontent with the nation's state of affairs, emphasizing the need for collective action to tackle pressing issues like security, governance, and economic concerns.
In a candid press conference, El-Rufai made it clear that he's not waging war against the current administration, but rather making a stand for the nation's welfare. He powerfully proclaimed, "I'll take out anyone—including my father—who poses a threat to Nigeria's interests."
Addressing the gathering, El-Rufai vented his frustration: "The security situation and governance in Nigeria have spiraled out of control, and we can no longer stand idle. We need to unite and FIX this mess!"
As for the deteriorating economy, El-Rufai criticized defective policies, such as the 2023 naira redesign, which originated from his own party, the APC. In his fight for change, he emphasized the need for leaders with technical know-how to tackle these fundamental issues and enact meaningful economic reforms.
El-Rufai was also quick to denounce the divisive "Emi lo kan" (It's my turn) mentality, dubbing it a serious threat to the very existence of Nigeria. He called for an end to these tribalized power struggles, which undermine national unity and progress.
To tackle the leadership crisis, El-Rufai embraced a policy shift—prioritizing competence over regional power rotation. He asserted that the country's problems are too grave to obsess over where the next President originates from.
El-Rufai also sounded the alarm on the decay of institutions, warning against corrupt politicians and their cronies. To restore internal democracy, he aims to create grassroots political movements through his new SDP platform.
El-Rufai's recent defection from the APC serves as a beacon of hope for those seeking change, aiming to unite forces and prioritize Nigeria's survival over personal gains. His unrelenting call for unity and change is a source of inspiration to many Nigerians seeking a better future for their nation.
