A former militant leader in the Niger Delta and Mayor of Urhoboland, Eshanekpe Israel, popularly known as Akpodoro, has slammed ex-Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, over his recent remarks on the 2027 presidential election, insisting that the South-South region will not align with the North to unseat President Bola Tinubu.
Papers News reports that Akpodoro, while speaking in Abuja on Monday, described El-Rufai’s alleged call for a North-South-South alliance as an insult to the people of the region.
He further stated that the South-South will not betray its own again as it did in 2015 against former President Goodluck Jonathan.
