When APC labels El-Rufai as “finished,” they deliberately forget he was the governor who digitized Kaduna, brought electronic voting into Nigeria’s democracy, and gave Abuja its modern shape as FCT Minister. His fierce honesty is not rebellion; it is vision. History does not belong to those who bow; it belongs to those who bend the arc of change.

What APC refuses to admit is this: in the Northwest, no serious political movement can ignore El-Rufai’s reach. From Zaria to Zuru, his coalition of reform-minded youth, clerics, and technocrats is awake, angry, and mobilized. It was this same ecosystem that kept Kaduna ahead in governance reforms, and now it is converging within ADC.

With El-Rufai anchoring ADC in the Northwest, the terrain shifts. He is not just a former governor or minister; he is a master strategist who understands both grassroots mobilization and elite consensus. 2027 will prove one thing: you can attempt to sideline him, but you cannot erase his imprint on Nigeria’s political chessboard.
