El-Rufai, Al-Mustapha, Others Meet at SDP HQ Ahead of 2027 Presidential Election
By Usman A Harande
In a move that has sent ripples through Nigeria’s political landscape, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha (Rtd), Segun Showunmi, Senator Gada, and other influential politicians from across the country gathered at the Social Democratic Party (SDP) National Headquarters today. The high-stakes meeting is widely seen as a bid to forge a unified platform ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
This development comes on the heels of Malam Ibrahim Shekarau’s denial of rumors that the League of Northern Democrats (LND) is planning to transform into a registered political party. Shekarau’s statement has sparked intense speculation about the future of Nigerian politics, with many wondering if the LND will eventually join forces with the SDP or other parties.
While the details of today’s meeting remain under wraps, insiders suggest that the discussions centered around building a formidable coalition to challenge the dominance of Nigeria’s traditional ruling parties. With El-Rufai, Al-Mustapha, and other heavy hitters in attendance, this gathering has all the makings of a game-changer in Nigeria’s electoral landscape. As the country gears up for the 2027 presidential election, one thing is clear: the stakes have never been higher.
