Finally , El-Rufai dumps APC, joins new political party
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, a former Kaduna State Governor, has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
El-Rufai, in a resignation letter submitted on Monday to his ward in Kaduna State, cited irreconcilable differences with the ruling party’s leadership, after which, expressed disappointment with the party’s trajectory in recent years
“I have diligently served the APC and made my contributions to its viability as a political platform,” he stated. “However, developments in the last two years have confirmed a troubling disregard for democratic principles and progressive values that I hold dear.”
The former APC chieftain was founding member of the party and played a key role in securing electoral victories for the party in 2015, 2019, and 2023.
El-Rufai, while reflecting on his tenure as Kaduna governor, highlighted his administration’s focus on human development, education, healthcare, infrastructure, job creation, and investment.
He added that his decision to part ways with the APC was due to growing concerns about governance and internal party dynamics.
“At this point in my political journey, I must seek another political platform for the pursuit of the progressive values I cherish,” he said.
Announcing his move to the SDP, El-Rufai expressed gratitude to his mentors, colleagues, and supporters, reaffirming his commitment to advancing democratic principles.
“As a member of the SDP, I am committed to fostering a unified democratic platform to challenge the APC in upcoming elections
…as three commissioners resign
Rivers State House of Assembly has issued a warrant of arrest on the Chairman of RISIEC; Justice Enebeli Rtd.
Apparently this has to do with the last LG elections in the State.
Also, three commissioners in the last 48hours have put in their resignation letters.
Details shortly….
Feelers from Rivers State indicate that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is contemplating to resign or face impeachment process.
Sources close to the embattled Governor say he is consulting his political allies on the next to honourably resign or fight till end.
Another source said that Sim told his confidants that he would rather resign than appear before the Amaewhule led Assembly nor wait to be impeached.
The crisis entrepreneurs told him to hand on, and courageously fight to the end. That self-seeking advice is reminiscent of what Macbeth did when all the forces were against him: Macduff and his forces advancing against him. Macbeth helplessly yelped:
In the circumstance, the honourable option now for Governor Fubara is RESIGNATION! That would make him a hero of a sort.
However, the public is watching how the event would unfold, as we are in an interesting time.
