Daniel Bwala, presidential aide, says Nasir El-Rufai’s political influence is fading and his coalition lacks grassroots support. He suggests El-Rufai’s relevance declined during his second term as Kaduna governor.
- Bwala claims El-Rufai’s movement lacks traction and no longer commands national political attention.
- APC lost three Senate seats and presidential support in Kaduna during El-Rufai’s second term, Bwala notes.
- Coalition members reportedly urged El-Rufai to return to the PDP as political momentum stalls.
Bwala’s remarks reflect growing internal political tension and public skepticism toward elite-driven coalitions. His criticism taps into broader concerns about leadership disconnect from real voter priorities, especially in the north.
With 2027 on the horizon, can Nigeria’s political coalitions regain credibility and connection with the electorate, or are we witnessing a shift in how influence is built?
