2027: South-South Won’t Align With You – Akpodoro Tells El-Rufai by PressMyButton(op): 7:21pm On Feb 25, 2025

Former Niger Delta militant and Mayor of Urhoboland, Eshanekpe Israel, also known as Akpodoro, has warned ex-Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, against looking to the South-South for political backing ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

El-Rufai has been vocal in his criticisms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu, alleging political marginalization.

However, Akpodoro insists that the South-South remains unmoved by his grievances.

Speaking in Abuja on Monday, February 24, 2025, Akpodoro dismissed El-Rufai’s push for a North-South-South alliance to challenge Tinubu in the next election.

“If El-Rufai thinks he holds significant influence in the North, let alone the South-South, he is mistaken. We once made the error of opposing one of our own, President Goodluck Jonathan, in 2015—we will not repeat that mistake,” Akpodoro stated.

He also criticized El-Rufai’s tenure as governor, accusing him of leaving behind hardship and unrest in Kaduna State.

“The people of Southern Kaduna are relieved after his departure. Many in his state appreciate President Tinubu’s leadership style, which has taken a different approach,” he added.

Akpodoro further noted that northerners are now more politically aware and recognize that El-Rufai and his allies prioritize personal ambitions over national interest.

He urged the former governor to abandon any hopes of securing South-South support.

“El-Rufai should look elsewhere for alliances. During his time at the Bureau of Public Enterprises, he showed no concern for this region, and now he wants to use it for political advantage. We stand firmly with President Tinubu,” Akpodoro concluded.

Tinubu does not even need to fight for himself come 2027, the people themselves will mobilize and fight for Jagaban. Men Mount.
Those bitter losers have jammed the wrong guy.

I love The way he cry these days. grin

Even if you don't like Tinubu, he's right by not appointing Hell-Rufai. That midget would have form cabals in AsoRock if Tinubu had given him appointment.

Okpodoro is not the mouth piece of South South sha

But at same time, South South are not in good terms with tinubu.

Is too early to show the ruling party our move.

By end of 2026, everyone will know where SE/SS stands

Elrufai made a mistake saying he would teach Lagosians how to retire godfatherism in Lagos meanwhile he was behaving like an emperor in Kaduna. See who has been retired now, even in Kaduna, he don become a content creator.

If we are to be honest with ourselves, the only person in the south who can match Tinubu structure-for-structure and money-for-money aside GEJ is Peter Obi.

All El-Rufai needs do is to team up with Obi and take his campaign to every nook and cranny of the core north, while Obi does his' in the south and middle-belt. So, an Obi/El-Rufai ticket will suffice.

The goal is to chase out any trace of 'Area Boys' within, without, and around the seat of power and liberate the populace from the grips of this yorubanized government

El Rufai can rot in hell for all I care.

The most bigoted Politician in the history of Nigeria. Much vile and worse than Buhari.

This useless man is the reason why we have a muslim-muslim ticket.

Same person that was settling killer herdsmen with Billions of Naira in cash.

For those supporting the evil man, have you not wondered why the Southern Kaduna Christians are no longer murdered since he left office?

He is proud and rude. Same as his wife, children and all his entire family.

May the souls of all minority Northern Christian martyrs torment you forever 🙏

Evil man with hands soaked in blood. You will never find rest.

Elrufia never no wetin go heat am, no reasonable southerner will align with him. He should go and align with his fellow futa jalon that he paid to stop killing in South Kaduna or maybe the zombidients will align
