According to Governor Sule, no one except the former president can determine whether the CPC will be part of the coalition being muted by some key politicians in the country, planning to oust President Tinubu from power in 2027.
The magazine reported that a former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, former governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El rufai as part of the coalition against President tinubu have been wooing the former Nigerian leader to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, as part of the ongoing efforts by key opposition parties trying to block President Tinubu’s re-election.
Former governor El Rufai is a member of the CPC led by Buhari. The party was part of the legacy poltical parties that ousted former President Goodlcuk onathan from power in 2015.

The governor: “There is nothing like taking CPC away. There is only one person in this world that can decide for the CPC, and that is our father, Muhammadu Buhari. Nobody speaks of the CPC more than this man. The day he says CPC is with you, then CPC is with you.
“The day he says CPC is not with you, it is not with you. Because he is the CPC himself. He keeps carrying his 12million voters along with him everywhere he goes, so he is also not going anywhere.
“That was why we went to see him in Kaduna, and we said ‘Baba, you are not going anywhere. We are going to be in this house (APC) together so that we will continue to build our house.”
The former president recently passed a vote of confidence on President Tinubu’s government. He had also promised that he’s not leaving the ruling APC.
