DECLARATION OF INTENT TO CONTEST FOR THE OFFICE OF
GOVERNOR, KADUNA STATE (2027)
Fellow citizens of Kaduna State,
1. I stand before you today with a deep sense of humility and responsibility to formally declare my intention to contest for the office of Governor of Kaduna State in the 2027 gubernatorial election, under the platform of our great party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
2. Kaduna State is at a critical turning point. The choices we make today will determine whether our children inherit a state of opportunity and progress or one of decline and missed chances. After careful reflection and wide consultations with party leaders, stakeholders, and citizens across our communities, I am encouraged by the strong belief in our collective ability to rebuild and move Kaduna forward again.
3. Many of those I consulted expressed confidence in my experience in public service and my connection with the grassroots. They believe, as I do, that Kaduna can rise again with the right leadership.
4. We cannot talk about the future without acknowledging the foundation laid in the past. Under the leadership of former Governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna State witnessed bold reforms and significant progress. There was a clear vision, strong political will, and a commitment to building for the next generation.
5. However, it is clear to many of us today that this momentum is dead! The reality on our streets, in our institutions, and in our communities tells a different story. We see growing concerns about governance, limited engagement with opposition voices, and a weakening of the systems that once drove progress and accountability.
6. My mission is not only to restore that sense of purpose and direction but to improve on it. I will build on past achievements to create a more sustainable and resilient economy. I will prioritize job creation, support our youth and entrepreneurs, and ensure that development reaches every part of our beloved State.
7. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) offers a credible platform for unity, progress, and inclusive leadership. We are not starting from scratch; we are building on experience while bringing a renewed focus on fairness, empathy, and good governance.
8. I therefore call on members of all political parties and indeed all well-meaning citizens of Kaduna State who are concerned about our future, to join us on this journey. This is not just a political movement; it is a collective effort to reclaim the promise of our state. Let us strive to build a state where leadership is defined by competence, integrity, and service.
9. Thank you, and may God bless Kaduna State.

The more they hold Mallam Nasir El-Rufai in this politically induced detention, the more damage they are doing to themselves. Tinubu must go back to Lagos in 2027.
Now Isa Ali Pantami has gone completely silent with his loud reconciliation sermon at the graveside. All that moral talk has vanished overnight. Meanwhile, Nasir El-Rufai is still in detention, and Uba Sani continues the pressure yet the same people who preached forgiveness can’t even show up when it matters. So what was that at the graveside genuine peace or just cheap optics for the cameras?

Love him or hate him, one thing forever remains: no to incompetence. Even if it’s from his own, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai will speak against it.. "Jan biro maganin dakikin yaro." Basu wuta Babanmu ma'askin dare @elrufai . Wallahi badai mutum ba, sai ta Allah Tayi. Duk wanda ya fasa Allah Ya tsine masa. #SolidarityForeverElrufai #ElrufaiAntiIncompetence
InshaAllah, TWO RAKA'AT tomorrow to seek Allah's intervention on your freedom!
Someone like me could only offer such ! You are one of my few favorite politicians and it pains me that you're in this mess!
May Allah protect you and elevate you. May this never be your weakness but a stepping stone towards greater heights. May all your enemies perish!
🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻
Mallam @elrufai , the Hero of yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever ♾️ 🔥
Mallam Nasir El-Rufai remains detained, not because the law demands it, but because power fears him. We stand in unwavering solidarity with him and condemn those who have turned Nigeria’s courts into instruments of political revenge.
The continuous detention of Malam Nasiru El-Rufai is purely political.
We demand his immediate and unconditional release. A saki Mallam.
The authorities must stop using state power to settle political scores.
Justice must be fair, transparent and free from intimidation.

They planned everything in Abuja, then pushed it to Kaduna for implementation. Now when you ask the people in Abuja, they will act clueless and say it’s a “state issue” like they had nothing to do with it. It’s a calculated way to avoid responsibility.
But what’s even worse is the Kaduna man who agreed to be used like this to humiliate Mallam, the same person he once openly said made him who he is today. That’s not just betrayal, it’s pure hypocrisy.
So honestly, does he think this will end well for him? With all this backstabbing? Things like this don’t just disappear.
