Lagos, March 10. 2025 – Mallam Nasir EL-Rufai, a former Governor of Kaduna State and founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has decamped to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
He disclosed this in a press statement issued via his X handle on Monday,
He accused the APC of straying from the ideals of its founding fathers.
“As a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), I have fond memories of working with other compatriots to negotiate the merger of political parties that created the APC.
“Since 2013, I have hoped that my personal values and those of the APC will continue to align until I choose to retire from politics.
“Developments in the last two years confirm that those who currently control and run the APC do not desire to acknowledge, much less address, the party’s unhealthy situation.
“I have raised concerns in private and, more recently, in public regarding the party’s capricious trajectory.
“Therefore, at this point in my political journey, I have come to the conclusion that I must seek another political platform to pursue the progressive values I cherish,” he said (GBN)
