Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has claimed that Nigerians have decided to vote for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the 2027 election.
News360 Info reports that El-Rufai made this known during the unveiling of the ADC National Contact and Mobilisation Office in Jos, Plateau State, on Wednesday.
El-Rufai said the wave of defection by governors to the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not stop Nigerians from electing leaders of their choice in 2027.
According to the former Minister, Nigerians are unhappy with the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the APC, vowing that despite the ongoing defections, 230 million Nigerians will defeat 25 governors.
He said, “40 years ago, I was visiting Plateau every week because my fiancé did her National Youth Service here in Jos. Even after marriage we visit Jos regularly for weekends. But since then, things have gone in the wrong direction in Jos, Plateau.
“I hope with better leadership at the state and National level, we will be able to unite people of Plateau state across ethnic and religious lines; so that Plateau state can be that Home of Peace and tourism that we have known it to be. We pray God gives us the ability to unite you.
“I know that everyone is tired of this APC and PDP government across the country. Everyone is looking up to APC to save Nigeria. Governors from PDP are defecting to APC but Nigerians are defecting to ADC. By God’s grace, 230m Nigerians will defeat 25 governors.
“Nigerians have decided that in 2027, they will vote for ADC. What is ahead of us is to unite and bring all party members together. To bring our very good candidates, and good policies that will help all Nigerians. All of you here have a role to play. ADC is the only party that reserved 40% of leadership positions to the youth and 35% leadership contesting for women. It is a party for young people and women.”
