“This evening, I paid a solidarity visit to former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, following the attack by APC-sponsored thugs at the recent ADC inauguration in Kaduna. I reiterated that the activities of the Tinubu-led APC administration pose the greatest risk to our democracy since 1999. Sadly, the administration has turned into a full-blown dictatorship.

We resolved to harmonise our strengths and remain united in our determination to rescue Nigeria. The fight to save our democracy and provide a viable alternative platform for purposeful governance is in line with the wishes of millions of Nigerians who are tired of an incompetent and clueless government.”
