Nasir El-Rufai, the former Governor of Kaduna State, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Nasir cited a growing misalignment between his personal values and the current direction of the APC as the primary reason for his decision.
He expressed disappointment with the APC’s leadership, accusing the party of straying from its founding principles. El-Rufai revealed that he had raised concerns about the party’s trajectory privately and publicly over the past two years but found no willingness among the current leadership to address the issues.
El-Rufai’s resignation letter has been submitted to the APC leadership in his ward in Kaduna State.
He has also instructed his supporters to join him in the SDP, emphasizing the need for a unified democratic platform to challenge the APC.
