See Me In 2027!’ — El-Rufai Dares Critic Who Declared Him Politically Dead

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has said he will speak out “when the time is right,” insisting that those who doubt him will regret their words.

El-Rufai, a prominent member of the opposition coalition aiming to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, made the remark on Thursday in response to a social media user who mocked him.

The user, identified as Eureka (@Archimeokey), claimed the former governor was politically finished and now relied on others to speak for him.

“El-Rufai is gone. He is finished politically. He now hides behind other people’s ink to write and their mouth to talk. The big-mouthed El-Rufai can’t talk anymore,” the netizen wrote on .

Firing back, El-Rufai dismissed the comments and challenged the critic to revisit the matter in 2027.

“In your dreams… when the time comes for me to speak, you will eat your words. Save this tweet and check on 1st March, 2027, in sha Allah,” he replied.

In a separate development, El-Rufai recently stated that it is his duty as a senior citizen to speak out and act whenever a government fails the people.

Speaking in Sokoto State during a youth mobilisation rally for the new opposition coalition, he urged Nigerians to vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027, warning that the party’s continued rule threatens national unity.

The outspoken politician labelled the APC “incompetent and clannish,” stressing that its hold on power would only deepen divisions in the country.
