It is only appropriate that El-Rufai seeks public absolution by issuing a formal apology to the Nigerian people, as well as to Christian leaders and the affected communities, for his failure to protect their lives and livelihoods amid escalating violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis lack of accountability during those turbulent years underscores a disqualifying flaw in his leadership, which must be addressed before any claim to legitimacy can be made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoreover, El-Rufai must publicly renounce his prior declarations made in 2023, wherein he contended that the impetus for the Muslim-Muslim 2023 APC presidential ticket was rooted in a design for Islamic political supremacy in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe demand clarity on his role and responsibility for the tragic deaths and insecurity that plagued Kaduna State under his watch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil he furnishes a detailed account and a transparent admission of his failures, El-Rufai will remain perceived as a political leper\u2014one whose presence in any political domain jeopardizes its integrity and viability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Ohanaeze Ndigbo has observed the coalition of opposition leaders mobilizing around the SDP in anticipation of the 2027 elections, we must emphatically voice our position without ambiguity:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless this coalition provides an automatic 2027 SDP presidential ticket to a candidate of Igbo descent and a Christian, accompanied by a Northern running mate, any attempt to realign outside this framework is doomed to failure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShould they consider the SDP a Northern party that merely requires South Eastern cooperation to sustain a Northern candidate, let it be known\u2014such a strategy is unequivocally dead on arrival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, we stand firm in our adherence to the principle of a Southern presidency, consistent with the gentleman\u2019s agreement regarding the rotational leadership arrangement between the North and South.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting further, Ohanaeze stated that allowing a Northern candidate to serve additional years post-Buhari\u2019s eight-year tenure is simply unacceptable, adding that Nigerians will categorically reject any maneuver that seeks to subvert the Southern presidency until 2031.<\/p>\n<p>Reminding El-Rufai that his path to redemption lies in authentic reconciliation with the historical wounds he has caused, the group stated that his political future hinges on his willingness to engage sincerely with the injustices that have marked his political legacy, noting that until such a time, Ohanaeze Ndigbo will not engage with any political party that associates with El-Rufai<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohanaeze described El-Rufai as a political leper who will become a burden and liability to any party he identifies with.
