The former governor argued that the government’s policies were exacerbating the country’s economic and security challenges.
He pointed to the rising cost of living, ins£curity, and the stagnation of key sectors as evidence of the administration’s failure to address Nigeria’s pressing needs.
According to El-Rufai, a North-South alliance—collaboration between leaders from both the northern and southern regions of Nigeria is the only viable solution to the country’s problem.
He emphasized that the alliance must be built on a common understanding that Nigeria’s unity and prosperity depend on the effective governance of all regions.
He further argued that a new political coalition, driven by shared goals and a commitment to national healing, would be the antidote to the divisiveness and poor governance plaguing the country.
The call for a North-South alliance resonates with many Nigerians who feel that the country’s leadership needs to transcend regional divides.
Nigeria has long been plagued by tensions between the north and south, often over issues such as resource distribution, ethnic and religious differences, and political power.
El-Rufai’s statement suggests that only through cooperation and mutual respect can these divisions be bridged to bring about the national cohesion needed to drive forward meaningful reforms.
