El Rufai while Speaking at the unveiling of the ADC National Contact and Mobilization Office in Jos, Plateau State, said Nigerians are looking up to the his , ADC to deliver them from the Tinubu’s administration.
According to him, while PDP governors are defecting to the ruling party Nigerians are ‘defecting’ to the ADC which they believe will save them from the economic and political problems he said the administration created for the country, saying ‘everyone’ is tired of the APC and PDP. .
El Rufai: “I know that everyone is tired of these APC and PDP governments across the country. Everyone is looking up to ADC to save Nigeria. Governors from PDP are decamping to APC, but Nigerians are defecting to ADC. By God’s grace, 239 million Nigerians will defeat 25 governors.
“Nigerians have decided that in 2027, they will vote for ADC. What is ahead of us is to unite and bring all party members together. To bring our very good candidates and good policies that will help all Nigerians. All of you here have a role to play. ADC is the only party that reserved 40 per cent of leadership positions for the youth and 35 per cent of leadership positions for women. It is a party for young people and women.“
