Nigeria's Political Landscape: El-Rufai's Move Sparks Controversy

Kaduna APC Reacts to El-Rufai's Political Drama

Listen up, folks. The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State has something to say. They’re not mincing words when it comes to former Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s recent antics. The APC is calling out El-Rufai for what they see as a desperate attempt to drum up public sympathy and boost support for the Social Democratic Party (SDP). Let me break it down for you.

In a sharp-tongued response to El-Rufai’s recent outbursts against the APC after switching sides to the SDP, the Kaduna APC leadership isn’t holding back. Air Commodore Emmanuel Jekada and Yahaya Baba Pate, the Chairman and Secretary of the state chapter respectively, issued a statement that reads like a political punchline. They accuse El-Rufai of stirring up trouble and making wild accusations since jumping ship to the SDP.

APC's Statement: Clearing the Air

Here’s what the APC had to say: “For days now, the Social Democratic Party (SDP), a party that barely registers on the political radar in Kaduna State, has been making noise. They’re throwing out baseless claims about their supposed electoral strength and trying to link Hon. Ja’afaru Sani’s legal troubles to the APC. It’s all part of their strategy to grab attention and gain sympathy.”

“Since the angry, agitated, and frustrated Malam Nasir El-Rufai joined their ranks, the SDP has been grasping at straws. They’re throwing out wild accusations and crying wolf, hoping to sway public opinion and drum up support for a party that’s been around for years but has never made a dent in Kaduna politics. Normally, we’d ignore their antics, but we don’t want the public to be misled by their tall tales.”

APC's Dominance in Kaduna

Let me paint you a clearer picture. The APC is emphasizing their dominance in Kaduna politics. They point out that recently, top political figures from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) have been flocking to the APC in droves. They’ve welcomed defectors from the National Assembly and the Kaduna State House of Assembly. The movement toward the APC has been overwhelming, and they’re not sweating the loss of individuals like El-Rufai who are scrambling for political relevance.

“It’s on the record. Top political figures are moving to the APC. Our party is practically at capacity, so why should we waste time worrying about individuals who are running around in circles trying to stay relevant? Malam Nasir El-Rufai’s highly publicized defection to the SDP turned out to be a non-event. His exaggerated sense of self-importance led him to jump ship, but let’s be honest—no one of substance followed him. It’s just a few of his cronies. People know that El-Rufai’s motivation for leaving the APC was pure self-interest. He’s out for revenge against those he blames for his political downfall.”

El-Rufai's Political Gamble

El-Rufai has made it clear that he’s out for blood. He’s sworn to get even with his perceived political enemies in Kaduna State. But the APC isn’t buying it. They’re calling him out for fighting imaginary wars and insist that no one in Kaduna is after him. “He’s the architect of his own political misfortune,” they declare. It’s a bold statement, but it’s clear the APC isn’t backing down.

So, there you have it. The political drama in Kaduna is heating up, and the APC isn’t shy about calling out El-Rufai’s moves. Whether you’re a supporter of the APC or the SDP, one thing’s for sure—this political saga is far from over.
