His statement reads in part:
“I just feel like I contributed to this country’s problems by bringing the evil Tinubu into power. I should do the last lap by removing Tinubu,”
El-Rufai says Nigerians lost interest in APC
The former governor further maintained that Nigerians are no longer interested in the ruling APC and that 91 per cent of the people are against the ruling party. He said the Nigerian people want alternatives, who can put away their differences.
El-Rufai, who is one of the leaders of the coalition movement that just moved to register a new political party known as the All Democratic Alliance (ADA), explained that individuals from various political and ideological backgrounds have come together with one goal: to register the new political party.
According to El-Rufai, the movement was not about parties, stating that the group consists of members from the camp of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and former ministers under ex-President Muhammadu Buhari. He declared that he was not representing the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

He noted that there are chances of the movement becoming a single political party if there is a need for it. He said he and others can leave their group and join a political party. He said they are encouraged by the party of the coalition.
The former governor said they were all like-minded people and that their primary objective was to fix the country. He claimed that the country was currently under “urban bandits”. He expressed confidence in defeating the ruling party in the next generation election.
El-Rufai then drew the parallels between the event that led to the fall of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 and the current political milieu.

El-Rufai, in a recent interview, explained that anyone who shared a contrary view was far from the touch of reality.
The former governor’s comment came as Tinubu commissioned projects in Kaduna and praised El-Rufai’s successor for returning peace to the state.
