Imo APC Chieftain Urges El-Rufai to Contest 2027 Presidential Election for Nigeria's Future
Imo APC chieftain Uche Diala publicly urged former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai to reverse his decision to quit active politics and instead contest the 2027 presidential election. Diala emphasized that Nigeria needs El-Rufai now more than ever, citing the current challenges facing the country.
Despite El-Rufai's past political actions, Diala believes his leadership qualities are crucial for the nation's future. Diala also dismissed concerns that El-Rufai's entry into the race would sideline other leaders, arguing that it would strengthen internal democracy.
This call comes amidst El-Rufai's reluctance, especially after defecting from the SDP and engaging with opposition figures like Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi to form a coalition.
