Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has announced his resignation from the party, citing a divergence from the party’s original values.
El-Rufai expressed his disappointment with the APC’s current leadership, stating that they have neglected the party’s progressive principles and ignored his concerns.

El-Rufai, who served as the Governor of Kaduna State from 2015 to 2023, played a crucial role in the APC’s formation and its subsequent election victories.
However, he believes the party has strayed from its founding ideals and is no longer a viable platform for his progressive values.
In his resignation letter, El-Rufai announced his decision to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP), which he believes aligns better with his vision for Nigeria.
He plans to work with other opposition leaders and parties to create a unified democratic platform to challenge the APC in future elections .El-Rufa’i Sues Kaduna House Of Assembly Over N432 Billion Claim
This development may significantly impact Nigeria’s political landscape, as El-Rufai’s departure could influence other APC members to reevaluate their allegiance.
