Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna, has intensified his criticism of the current administration, predicting that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will finish third in the 2027 presidential election.

El-Rufai, now a leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, stated on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics that he had “done my maths” and concluded that Tinubu has no “pathway to win” the election outright on the first ballot.

“Tinubu will be third in the 2027 election. I have done my maths and I can tell you Tinubu has no pathway to win. The worst case scenario is that there will not be any winner in the first ballot,” he said.

He urged Nigerians to evaluate the government based on their personal well-being.

“Ask yourself, is your life better now under President Tinubu?” he said.

He further added that there is “no pretense of good intentions” and that the government should be open to assessment after just a few weeks in office.

Addressing his own political ambitions, the former governor dismissed any desire to be a minister, stating he was a minister at the age of 23 and has no need for the position.

He did, however, acknowledge that he had been considered for the role of energy minister, for which he had a clear roadmap to transform the sector.

El-Rufai, who was a key member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a strong campaigner for President Tinubu in the 2023 elections, has now joined forces with figures like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Labour Party candidate Peter Obi.

He also commented on the issue of party loyalty and victory, saying that it is the people, not the governors, who decide who wins.

“I was in APC yet I did not deliver my state. Bola Tinubu did not win his state,” he noted.

He further critiqued the government’s handling of insecurity, claiming that while officials often announce that terrorists have been killed, the “elements are often found in the streets.”

On the commitment of some of his new allies, such as Chibuike Amaechi and Peter Obi, to govern for only a single four-year term, El-Rufai expressed skepticism.

“I want them to stop making this kind of commitment. Nobody believes them. Things change once they get in,” he said, adding that such a promise is “even unfair”.

''The worst case scenario in the 2027 elections is that no winner will emerge in the first round and we may go for a run-off and Bola Tinubu will not be on the ballot for that run-off. He will at best be 3rd in that election.''

Lol. Tinubu has no pathway to reelection. It will become clearer heading into 2027. Just wait and see.

Lol. Mathematician. Politicians are very funny i swear.

Only igbos believe you Hellrufai!

The remaining sensible and non delusional Nigerians knows you're capping!

It's obvious Tinubu will win or why the constant shouting on social media.

Once Tinubu wins El Rufai should just retire at his village.

Keep living in a fools paradise

Attempting to unseat a sitting president with mouth

Lol

He will drag fourth position with Sowore actually.
You think Presidential election is this charade they did last week?
Many Nigerians including myself don't actually participate in state elections. Na Presidential election we dey carry for head. Let me see who will do nonsense in my ward in 2027 when boys are not smiling.

El rufai should be ashamed.....u were part of this system, because the system did not favour u...u are now against it... somebody tell this short man to shut the f*ck up....

Tinubu is coming a distant fourth, he will try to rig but we will match him toe-to-toe.

Enough of the shenanigans.

I don't really care about any of them, but what's this one saying?

Lolz.. He must be terrible at maths. Which INEC chairman will announce BAT as third ?

some APC goons still feel that Thier god & master will win🤣🤣🤣🤣 when U hear some one repeatedly telling people that he meant his word then that person needs to be feared 😂
El rufia will destroy tilibu chances come 2027 !!!😅😅😅

El-rufai! We don't know you as mathematician; how do we know if your working is correct or wrong? Only obidients and ipob always agree with things like this with émotions. At least welcome back that we now hear your voice after being humbled by the bye election. Even obi booted up faster than you before making public social media appearance after the loss. It looks Obi about 3-days to survive the bye-election shock while it took El-rufai one week. Sorry, mr mathematician ! Spend your money wisely because Tinubu remains till 2031, don't come and shout hunger like Amechi later

I see Tinubu winning again...though I do not pray for that o.
These coalition guys are not ready

Na this mouth....Na this mouth...Na this mouth...Na this mouth...Na this mouth

You aren't a good maths teacher .

Of course. We all saw how APC came first in yesterday's LG election in Rivers state. Why not go ahead and swear Tinubu in then? Lol.

Your maths is not mathing short man devil. You need to go back to school.
