The former Governor of Kaduna State and one of the founders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasir El-Rufai, has defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
The prominent politician cited a growing misalignment between his values and the current direction of the APC as the primary reason for his decision.
El-Rufai revealed this in a press statement released on his X handle on Monday, where he expressed his disappointment with the APC’s leadership, accusing the party of straying from the progressive ideals of its founding members.
