A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe has mocked the immediate-past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, following his defection from the ruling party to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
El-Rufai, on Monday, announced his defection from the APC, citing a change in the ideology of the ruling party as his reason for shifting allegiance.
Reacting, in a post made on Facebook, Igbokwe wondered if the SDP is still a functional party.
He also claimed that President Bola Tinubu, who was a senator under the platform of SDP in 1993, owns the party.
He wrote, “PBAT was a Senator under SDP in 1993. Go and investigate and verify. He is the owner of SDP.”
In another post, Igbokwe asked, “Is SDP still existing in Nigeria’s
Political landscape? Just asking noni ooooo.
“If indeed SDP is still alive and kicking in Nigeria then know the truth and have inner peace: PBAT is the owner. Ignore him to your own peril. I remember our SDP of 1993 and the late Chief MKO Abiola.”
His view has sparked mixed reactions from his followers.
