Hassan Turaki.
Former Kaduna State Governor and founding member of the All Progressives Congress, Nasir El-Rufai, has dumped the ruling party for the Social Democratic Party.
The prominent politician cited a growing misalignment between his personal values and the current direction of the APC as the primary reason for his decision.
El-Rufai disclosed this in a press statement released on his twitter 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.
“As a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), I have fond memories of working with other compatriots to negotiate the merger of political parties that created the APC. Since 2013, I have hoped that my personal values and those of the APC will continue to align until I choose to retire from politics.
