Kaduna, Nigeria – E be like say dem don open new chapter for Naija politics as former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai don come out burst gist say opposition leaders dey plan to register new political party before 2027 election. Na this party wey dem dey call All Democratic Alliance (ADA) go serve as dem battle horse wey go carry dem enter war against President Bola Tinubu.
In interview wey him do for Arise TV, El-Rufai yan true when him talk say na war strategy dem get for mind. E talk say coalition leaders don sabi say to win election, dem no fit just put all dem eggs for one basket, so dem dey explore both registering new party and looking for existing party wey go suit dem. (Wetin dem dey talk for here no be play o!)
“You no go war with just one plan,” na wetin El-Rufai talk. E go hard to follow him gist because e talk say if dem fit create ADA wey no get wahala from government “viruses”, den dem go fit challenge Tinubu wey dem don dey complain say him dey destroy the country. According to am, “this government don inject ‘viruses’ into opposition parties—financing factions wey dey cause wahala.” Na im make some dey reason say new party go be better option.
As dem dey plan how to carry ADA come life, El-Rufai don also open mouth talk say him no suppose support Tinubu for 2023 again, as things don turn peachy for the common man. He don change his allegiance from APC to SDP, and e don start dey work with other leaders to unseat Tinubu.
While El-Rufai dey drop all this mouth-watering gist, he no lack side comments. According to am, the current government dey try block any real opposition moves, but he no wan keep quiet. “We suspect say dem go block any serious opposition movement,” he yarn. (E dey sound like person wey don taste palm wine too much o!)
Concerns dey round about whether INEC go fit permit ADA to register because their track record no too shine for new parties. In a nutshell, e go baffle if dem fit allow another party to join the rank when many other don dey wait like hungry goat.
But El-Rufai no wan lose hope. Na so him come shout say “if dem no respond within the time wey law talk, den the party go don dey registered by force!” (Na dem dey play with hot pipe oo!)
Omo, this man even go as far as talk say if Tinubu continue for power, “Nigeria go dey head towards destruction.” Na wah! Him sabi wahala for this political matter no be small as he talk—Nigerians no fit sit down fold hand while dem dey suffer under the APC umbrella.
Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, wey be former spokesperson for the Northern Elders Forum, don join matter too. E dey talk say di old political faces wey dey lead this new coalition no fit challenge Tinubu as dem dey serve more of themselves than the country. He don vex say na only recycled politicians dey try give us new life. (No be like wahala inside wahala again oo!)
For all dis political drama wey dey unfold, if 2027 no sweet, na dem go carry bitterness enter. Nigerians dey watch dem like hawks—we go see who go win this show. No be play show again!
