Tinubu’s Administration worse than any military regime in Nigeria – El-Rufai
Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has described President Bola Tinubu’s administration as a bigger threat to democracy than any military regime Nigeria has ever experienced.
El-Rufai made the remarks while hosting former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over the weekend, condemning the current government as a disgrace to democratic principles.
Atiku had visited El-Rufai in solidarity after thugs attacked the inauguration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kaduna, disrupting the event.
The attack has since sparked a war of words between El-Rufai and the Kaduna State government, each side accusing the other of orchestrating the violence.
“Honestly sir, to me, it is even a disgrace. I mean, for people to behave the way they are behaving, it means that all the years of saying that we are for democracy and NADECO, all the claims that we are fighting for true federalism and so on, it was all a pretense, all fake again. Because this government (Tinubu’s administration) is trying to centralize everything instead of devolving power to the lower levels.”
“The sum total of this is that we are facing an evil of such a large proportion in the history of this country that if we don’t come together and end this Tinubu administration by 2027, Tinubu will try to be our Paul Biya. All the signs are there, this is how Paul Biya started,” El-Rufai said.
