The Real Deal: Nasir El-Rufai's Game Plan Unveiled
El-Rufai Denies Planned Merger with PDP; Clarifies on Alleged Collaboration to Dethrone Tinubu
It's the talk of the town; former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai is leading a political coalition, gearing up to shake up Nigeria's political landscape in the 2027 elections. Unlike the conventional approach, this coalition loops in the masses, not governors, to secure victory[1][3][5].
El-Rufai's departure from the All Progressives Congress (APC) has led him to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), as he sets out to build a new, invigorating force[4][5]. The once powerful APC and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are seen as has-beens in El-Rufai's eyes[4].
Behind the Scenes
- The Social Democratic Party (SDP): The SDP is the chosen platform for this political revolution. El-Rufai and his team picked the SDP after evaluating parties likely to survive INEC's post-election deregistration process[4][5].
- Fellow Travelers: Conversations with five key political groups are in progress. Specific group names are under wraps, hinting at a wide-reaching attempt to create a national opposition movement[4].
El-Rufai is working tirelessly in both the northern and southern parts of the country, aiming to capture the hearts of disenchanted Nigerians nationwide[4].
The Road Ahead
This new movement isn't about merging parties, El-Rufai emphasizes. They're keen on bringing together like-minded individuals who believe in genuine change for Nigeria[6]. The SDP might need a facelift, but it's got history, making it a solid starting point[4].
Building a political party is a monumental task – it's more than just registering a party; it requires signing up members at the grassroots level, holding congresses, and constructing leadership[4]. A fingers-crossed approach is required as internal democracy and eliminating godfathers' control are priority[4].
El-Rufai aims for a party free of ownership and where every voice matters. The APC promised change, but it ultimately fell into the hands of a select few. This coalition aspires for a party where no one is in charge[4].
