Why Sule Lamido Warns el-Rufai: Don't Let Anger Fuel Your Fight Against Tinubu!

Nasir el-Rufai, a former governor of Kaduna, has called for President Bola Tinubu to be overthrown in 2027, but Sule Lamido, a former governor of Jigawa state, argues this should be motivated by national interest rather than personal grievances.
On March 10, El-Rufai left the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP), citing a difference in ideals with the ruling party.
He then urged opposition figures to join the SDP, like as former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, a former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate.
In response, Lamido stated in an interview with BBC Hausa that leadership should be about putting the good of the country ahead of one's own feelings.

"Being a leader means having patience, having vision, and trying to keep the country and its citizens peaceful. You can never lead objectively if you let your feelings guide your choices, Lamido stated.
"National interest, not personal grievances, should be the foundation of El-Rufai's plan to overthrow President Bola Tinubu.
"We shouldn't fight Tinubu merely because we want retribution or are upset with him.
"The goal of leadership should be to put the welfare of the nation ahead of one's own feelings."
El-Rufai reportedly claimed that northern Nigeria had no political elders, according to Lamido, who also mentioned that the former governor of Kaduna disregarded the PDP's contribution to his political career.
