El-Rufai Warns of Tinubu's Authoritarianism Risk in 2027
Former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has warned that if President Bola Tinubu is not voted out in 2027, he may become Nigeria's version of Cameroon's authoritarian leader, Paul Biya. El-Rufai expressed concerns about Tinubu's administration potentially leaning towards authoritarianism and centralizing power instead of deepening federalism.
He urged Nigerians to unite to prevent a scenario where Tinubu attempts to perpetuate power beyond 2027, drawing parallels to Biya's prolonged rule in Cameroon. El-Rufai emphasized the need for Nigerians to end what he described as a move towards centralization and uphold democratic ideals by ensuring a change in leadership by the next elections.
