Nasir El-Rufai Discusses APC's Potential Exit from Power in Nigeria, Emphasizes Need for Effective Governance

Former Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State in Nigeria shared insights on the potential exit of the APC from power, contrasting it with the 16-year rule of the PDP. El-Rufai emphasized the need for political parties like the APC to govern effectively, warning that political competition in Nigeria has not yet translated into good governance due to an overreliance on individuals rather than strong ideological and institutional structures.

He acknowledged Nigeria's economic and industrial progress over the years, citing macroeconomic discipline, infrastructure investments, and private sector initiatives like the Dangote Refinery as key drivers. El-Rufai's comments have sparked debates within political circles ahead of the 2027 general elections, underscoring the importance of a mature democratic system in Nigeria.
