Abuja, Nigeria
In a surprising turn of events, Nasir El-Rufai, the former Governor of Kaduna State, recently paid an unexpected visit to the Abuja National Secretariat of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as part of preparations for the upcoming 2027 general elections.
El-Rufai, a notable figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC), arrived at the SDP’s headquarters for a consultative session with the party’s National Chairman, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam.
Truth Live News gathered that this move raised eyebrows across political circles given El-Rufai’s longstanding affiliation with the APC and his previous role as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Despite his political stature, El-Rufai’s journey to the SDP signals a potential shift in alliances or strategic maneuvering ahead of the forthcoming elections.
It’s worth noting that El-Rufai’s nomination for a ministerial position during President Bola Tinubu’s administration faced hurdles in the Senate, reflecting the complexities of Nigeria’s political landscape.
