The immediate-past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) and declared his allegiance to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
In a resignation letter submitted to his ward in Kaduna State on Monday, El-Rufai expressed disappointment with the APC’s trajectory in recent years.
“I have diligently served the APC and made my contributions to its viability as a political platform. However, developments in the last two years have confirmed a troubling disregard for democratic principles and progressive values that I hold dear,” he stated.
“At this point in my political journey, I must seek another political platform for the pursuit of the progressive values I cherish,” El-Rufai added.
Also, his son, Bashir El-Rufai posted the logo of SDP on his X account to confirm the defection story.
