El Rufai Playing The Game by Bobodee09(op): 4:05pm On Mar 10, 2025
Politic is a game.

Forming a coalition to take power requires alot to get strong members on your side.

What will el rufai offer governors to join himhuh

Sitting Governors are very powerful in Nigeria and to have a formidable coalition he needs Governors to join him but from the look of things I don't see which Sitting Governor will want to join and contest under SDP.


El rufai himself is not someone who have helped alot of politicians in the country. He isn't someone that command loyalty from any zone of the country hence him being the face of the coalition wont attract much.


Lastly in all of this I know El rufai is only fighting for 2031. Not being relevant and push aside is killing his ambitions.

Not being close to sit of power is disadvantage to his quest but playing opposition will make people see him more.

El rufai doesn't have what it takes to like him or rally people to his side,but he can be formidable foe, that's is his only use,to help spoil things for Tinubu and help the opposition, he is intelligent to Marshall his points,point out the flaws of Tinubu, he is fearles ,he can confront Tinubu and his soldiers who ever they are
So the dull opposition we have will soon be over
That's the only use el rufai can be put into
Nothing more

Someone that can't even win the whole of Kaduna. You people overrate this man too much.

In that North west he can't deliver 2 state. Most northern politicians dislike El rufai.

Have you ever seen any sitting governor with him, he always love going opposite direction.
Re: El Rufai Playing The Game by 9jatriot(m):
My own questions are:

1: El Rufai said he was going for PhD, did he finish it within 2 years
2: If yes to the question above, can he tell us the school so that we can quickly go and rush our own?
3: If he did not finish, was the workload too much for him to handle?
4: He said it was going to be full-time, has he converted it to part-time?
5: Has he abandoned the project altogether to focus on politics?
6: Or was it just lamba with no PhD in question at any time?

Lol. Area boys are getting worked up on this thread. Don't worry, it's still early days. By 2026, when the Tsunami of the SDP starts ravaging the country, governors (especially Northern governors) will either flow with the tide or risk fading into the abyss. You only need to ask your friends or acquaintances who reside in the North, APC is like a pariah today. The people are desperately crying for alternatives!

Re: El Rufai Playing The Game by seborrhic: 6:43pm On Mar 10, 2025
Which s tupid game.
Someone that will decamp from SDP to another party if he doesn't get what he wants or they try to dilute his influence in the party.
You think any of these politicians, except for probably Peter Obi and Atiku(despite his relative corruption) has a true future vision and care that much about Nigeria and the common folks?
All they are interested in is getting power or being very close to power influencers so they can continue living their upscale lives and determining who becomes what.

There is likely going to be a coalition. El rufai's game is to have foothold in SDP so that by the time negotiation starts, he will have strong seat at the table.

you think this is el rufai games. To me I think there are many things happening that we don't know yet. I think there would have been lots of consulting before he decamp. There are just pushing el rufai to the front, there are lots of people pulling the strings in the back

He only wants to use Obi to his advantage. He knows Obi will not contest under LP again, and PDP will not give him a ticket. So he planned to woo Obi to SDP and be his deputy so that will boost his 2031 presidential ambition.

It’s a normal political game
