Former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, on Wednesday, emphatically declared that President Bola Tinubu is going back to Lagos in 2027.
The former governor, who is now a member of the Social Democratic Party, (SDP), said this while confirming that African Democratic Congress, ADC, has been adopted as the official platform of the opposition coalition.
According to reports in the media the coalition formerly chose ADC as its platform during a meeting held Tuesday night in Abuja.
