Akintayo expressed doubts about El-Rufai’s sincerity in the mission to democratically sack Tinubu in the next general election.
Stephen Akintayo, a prominent Nigerian entrepreneur has revealed the only political candidate that President Bola Tinubu fears ahead of 2027 election.
According to him, Tinubu is afraid of Labour Party (LP) chieftain, Peter Obi.
Akintayo said that a combination of presidential hopeful Obi and Nasir El-Rufai, a former governor of Kaduna state, would give Tinubu 'sleepless nights'.
Recall that El-Rufai recently left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
The 65-year-old stated in a recent interview that the ruling party had abandoned its progressive ideals and accused the APC of straying from its original principles and transforming into a party driven by personal interests.
He wrote on his X handle: “The only political candidate that @officialABAT Fears is @PeterObi hence a combination of @PeterObi and @elrufai will give @officialABAT sleepless nights. The only problem with this combination is this? Can @elrufai be trusted? From the countless insults from him and his children to his personality. No 1 rule of power; Never outshine your boss! Can an @elrufai VIP refrain from outshining @PeterObi?"
Akintayo added: "Just thinking loud. I am yet to see a formula that will defeat @officialABAT in 2027. This @elrufai move looks like dividing northern votes to still help @officialABAT win. Chai! Again, just thinking loud.”
