In an interview with BBC Hausa, El-Rufai emphasized the need for a united opposition ahead of the 2027 elections.
“What I want and pray for is for all opposition leaders—Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola—to join the SDP,” he said.
He also dismissed claims of betraying Atiku, stating that their relationship was based on professional work, not politics.
