Immediately past Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has strongly denied news alleging that he’s joining the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), ahead of 2027.
The Ex-fct minister under PDP, who disclosed this in a statement shared on his verified X account, described the reports as “patent lies and rumors” about his political affiliation.
He warned the public to disregard the fake news and announced that he has referred the matter to his lawyers for further action against those peddling the false information.
El-Rufai described the reports as “patent lies and rumors” about his political affiliation.
As a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), El-Rufai has been a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, having served as the governor of Kaduna State from 2015 to 2023.
His denial of joining the PDP puts to rest speculation about his potential defection to the opposition party.
El-Rufai’s statement is a clear indication that he remains committed to his political ideology and will not be swayed by rumors or misinformation.
It’s worth noting that El-Rufai has been a vocal critic of the PDP in the past, and his denial of joining the party is consistent with his previous stance.
The former Governor has been known for his strong views on politics and governance, and his statement is a testament to his commitment to transparency and accountability
