Nasir El-Rufai, the former Kaduna State governor, has alleged that a group of urban bandits is working tirelessly to destabilize Nigeria, and that recent political movements reflect a strong counter-response aimed at restoring national direction.
Speaking during an exclusive interview on Arise News on Monday evening, El-Rufai revealed that a newly formed coalition of political leaders—many of whom are now opposed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu—share a common goal beyond personal ambition.
“Nobody in the coalition is speaking about their personal aspiration—at least not for now,” El-Rufai explained. “We are politicians and students of power, so naturally, aspirations may arise later. But for now, everyone is committed to one goal: rescuing Nigeria from these urban bandits who seek to bring the nation down.”
He added, “Everyone is saying, ‘We have a national crisis. Nigeria is under attack by a coordinated group of urban saboteurs. Let’s unite, remove them, and restore order and progress.’”
El-Rufai emphasized that the coalition’s motivation lies in fixing the country, not pursuing personal ambition. “That shared purpose is refreshing. I feel empowered and inspired by the sincerity and urgency I’ve seen so far,” he said.
The outspoken leader has since become a central figure in the anti-Tinubu alliance. He maintains that Tinubu will not return to Aso Rock after the 2027 elections, signaling a fierce battle ahead for the presidency.
