APC Says El -Rufai Plotting To Impose Atiku As ADC Presidential Candidate

The All Progressives Congress, APC, says that former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, is plotting to impose former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, at the expense of national unity.
It said  that El-Rufai and his allies in the ADC were attempting to undermine Nigeria’s power rotation arrangement by pushing for Atiku’s candidacy in 2027, despite the presidency currently being held by the South.
The allegation is coming against the backdrop of El-Rufai’s recent criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, describing Tinubu as “incompetent and clannish.”
El- Rufai had insisted at a political meeting in Sokoto weekend that Tinubu was incompetent and a bigot. 
However, in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC dismissed El-Rufai’s remarks, pointing out that  El-Rufai and his allies in the ADC were offering no credible alternative to current policies.
The APC further said that the opposition figures lack viable policy proposals and have instead relied on what it called “headline attacks” against the Federal Government.
According to Morka, "El-Rufai and Atiku want to do to Nigeria what Atiku did to PDP. The El-Rufai and Atiku hijacked ADC constitute a clear and present threat to the unity, peace and progress of Nigeria."
