As Nigeria’s political landscape continues to shift, a startling warning from Nasir El-Rufai has raised concerns about the future of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Nigeria’s political arena is abuzz with a recent statement from Nasir El-Rufai, warning of an imminent threat to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Nasir El-Rufai’s recent statement has shed light on the precarious state of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s oldest and largest political party. According to El-Rufai in a recent video, the PDP is being “clearly targeted for destruction” and it’s only a matter of time before the party meets its demise.
El-Rufai attributes this impending doom to the presence of “internal mercenaries” within the party, who have been hired or motivated to destroy the PDP from within. This claim suggests that the party’s downfall is not solely due to external factors, but also internal sabotage.
The former governor’s statement is particularly poignant, given the PDP’s rich history in Nigeria’s democratic struggle. As El-Rufai noted, the party was formed by politicians who put aside their differences to drive away the military and restore democracy. This legacy makes the PDP’s potential destruction all the more unfortunate.
It’s worth noting that El-Rufai’s statement comes amidst a brewing conflict within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), which has pitted him against President Bola Tinubu and Yahaya Bello. The conflict has exposed deep-seated divisions within the APC, and El-Rufai’s warning about the PDP’s destruction may be a sign of the growing instability in Nigeria’s political landscape.
