Nasir El-Rufai, former Governor of Kaduna State, has asked Nigerians to disregard report about his defection to PDP saying it’s a patent lie.
The unconfirmed defection report ignited widespread discussions online, with many speculating about the political implications of such a move in Kaduna State’s evolving political landscape.
However, El-Rufai swiftly took to his official X account to set the record straight.
“Please disregard the patent lies and rumours about my political affiliation. I have referred the lead peddlers of the fake news for further action by my lawyers,” he wrote.
El-Rufai’s firm rebuttal and threat of legal action indicate his commitment to countering what he described as “fake news” designed to mislead the public.
The former governor’s political future has been a subject of keen interest, following his tenure marked by bold reforms and controversial policies.
While the defection rumor has been debunked, it now puts more scrutiny on the next political trajectory for El-Rufai.
As discussions continue, all eyes remain on El-Rufai for any official announcements regarding his next political moves, though for now, his stance on party affiliation remains unchanged.
