He stated this while speaking on ‘Prime Time’, an Arise Television programme, on Monday, June 23, 2025.
As reported by TheCable, El-Rufai urged Nigerians to reflect on their experiences since Tinubu assumed the reins on May 29, 2023.
“The guy (Tinubu) is gone; he has performed miserably. The economy has tanked, the security architecture has failed, there are no clear trade, industrial, and investment policies, and everything is going wrong.”
He lamented that there is nothing to show for the increase in the revenue generated by Tinubu’s government.
“They are raising lots of revenues, but we don’t know where the revenues are going because there are no results.”
El-Rufai said Tinubu received a 91 percent disapproval rating in the South-East and North in a poll conducted by his group.
He said they asked Nigerians if they like what is happening, if their lives have gotten better since Tinubu assumed office. If not, why not give some other people a chance?
“We have done some polling in many parts of the country, particularly in the south-east and the north. President Tinubu has a 91 percent disapproval rating. Even in Lagos, he has a 78 percent disapproval rating,”
“This is a scientific poll. In some states in the south-west, such as Ondo and Ekiti, he is doing somewhat better than a 78 percent disapproval rating, but nowhere is he doing better than 50 percent, even in the south-west.”
El-Rufai explains reason for registering new party
Recall that El-Rufai explained the reason the opposition coalition opted to register a new political party rather than merge with an existing one.
El-Rufai said the emerging political coalition believed that a new political party is of a lesser risk.
Legit.ng reports that the Atiku Abubakar-led coalition has been plotting how to sack President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
El-Rufai mentions what he did for Tinubu
In a previous story, Legit.ng reported that El-Rufai expressed regret for supporting President Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.
El-Rufai explained that he was instrumental in the emergence of President Tinubu and has therefore contributed to the problem of Nigeria.
The former governor said 90 per cent of Nigerians are no longer in the present administration of President Tinubu and the ruling APC.
