Sunday Dare, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Advisor on Media and Public Communications, has denied rumors that Nasir El-Rufai, a crucial coalition member, might jeopardize the president’s 2027 reelection.

Dare emphasized that other opposition MPs can garner more votes and maintained that El-Rufai has little electoral relevance.

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, was the platform of the opposition alliance that El-Rufai just joined.

According to El-Rufai, the coalition’s primary goal is to prevent Tinubu from winning reelection in 2027.

However, El-Rufai said that Tinubu’s reforms will guarantee him a second term during his appearance on the Mic On podcast with Seun Okinbaloye on Saturday.

Dare said: “Is El-Rufai 110 million Nigerians who will vote? How many voters does el-Rufai command? Even if he commands them, can he decide who they will cast their vote for?

”I have respect for him, but this idea to equate El-Rufai with Nigeria and millions of votes is an overreach.”

He said there are politicians who “command larger votes, better influence, and are key to the transformation taking place in this country.

“El-Rufai is not bigger than any other Nigerian because everybody has a stake in the country,” he said
