El-Rufai Accuses Tinubu of Life Presidency Plan, Sparks APC Tensions

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, accused President Bola Tinubu of planning a "life presidency" and criticized his governance style during a recent visit by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. El-Rufai alleged that Tinubu aimed to stay in power indefinitely, jeopardizing democracy.

Tinubu's rumored 2023 presidential bid faced setbacks, with El-Rufai's supporters blocking his ministerial nomination. The rift highlights growing tensions within the ruling APC party.

El-Rufai's comments signal a shift in political dynamics ahead of the upcoming elections, especially in the northern region of Nigeria.
